Whyyy

"When the Hiroshima bomb was dropped, the temperature at ground zero (the point of detonation) was several thousand degrees centigrade. At the core of the blast, the temperature was 50 million degrees centigrade. The flash heat started fires a mile away. Stone walls, steel doors, and asphalt pavement glowed red hot. The heat burned the black lettering from books and newspapers, and fused clothing to skin. More than a mile from the epicenter, men had their caps etched onto their scalps, women their kimono patterns imprinted on their bodies, and children their socks burned onto their legs. The Hiroshima blast leveled the city. At Shima Clinic, for example, the stone columns were rammed straight down into the ground. The entire building collapsed, and the occupants were vaporized. 62,000 buildings out of a total of 90,000 were destroyed. All utilities and transportation services were wrecked. Over 70,000 breaks in the water main occured. The explosion sent a whirlwind of glass through the city."

I'm not blaming anyone, really.
But looking at all of this from a third person kind of view is kind of difficult,
seeing that I've become a mix of two different nationalites.
