Course on
Anti-Imperialism, War and Peace, Part 8c
Hiroshima and
Nagasaki
To underline the ruthlessness of the Imperialist
enemy, we can quote as follows:
“the US decision to
drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ... was meant to kick-start the
Cold War [against the Soviet Union, Washington 's
war-time ally] rather than end the Second World War”.
This statement is taken from Norm Dixon’s article “Hiroshima
and Nagasaki: Worst terror attacks in history” published in Green Left Weekly,
August 3, 2005 (download linked below).
The two worst-ever terrorist attacks in history, by far,
were perpetrated by the USA, for the most cynical and mendacious reasons.
Images of what resulted in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are
abundantly available on the Internet but the ones that show people, whether
alive or dead, are too terrible to use here.
To this day the USA does not face up to what it has done by
these two vile acts.
This course is on Anti-Imperialism, War and Peace. We cannot
leave this thing out. We have to note that the US power that did these
unspeakable things is still active in the world, and is still, as it was then, active
in the cause of its own dominance over the rest of us. The list of its crimes
continues to grow longer every day.
