A little perspective

Whilst everyone battles on over Gaza and Israel, who's right, who's wrong, I saw this on the telegraph and it kind of reminds me of just what man can do. We easily forget how the 'west' dropped 'the' bomb on innocent civilians:

15 images here




These are photographs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki taken by a British serviceman a month after the atom bombs were dropped.

Take a look at all images and captions.

The atom bomb was merely a means to an end...

and to be honest this thread kind of feels like the old blame 'the west' for the worlds atrocities...

The Japanese committed horrendous attacks during World War 2.
but i guess the murder of almost 10 million Chinese civilians isn't important because the west didn't do it
