here's a photo i nipped off of jim hesketh's photobucket page.
now - after living in korea for just over 2 years i don't have much sympathy for imperial japan. i haven't even read "the rape of nanking" yet.
but take a good look at this photo. you'd think that a weapon like an atomic bomb would be deployed specifically to take out massive military targets. or maybe it wasn't? maybe it was designed to kill civilians, devastate the fuck out of everything, destroy morale and then open things up for american-led capitalism?

why aim your massive protonuclear weapon at a bunch of theaters and art studios?
and to think that macarthur had the brainiac idea to drop something like 5 of these on korean targets.
the only good reason to drop a nuclear weapon on japan is the minute chance that it might hit todd ferguson, nature's punching bag.
