Wish the pictures & descriptions of these horrific bombs would break thru the idiocy of anyone who even has a thought of using one. I dont think I would have the forgiveness in me that the Nagasaki citizens do. Its different from so much of the crap going on today here.

It was the TV movie "The Day After" that broke through a lot of otherwise jingoistic minds during the Reagan years. The British film "Threads" came out around the same time, and was so horrific it made "The Day After" look like an ABC Afterschool Special. The latter is the most unsettling motion picture I have ever seen.
There was a later movie on HBO that was unstinting in showing the aftereffects of both bombs. I think we need to be shown this and movies like it, over and over, so that we all commit to never using them again.
Threads is a masterpiece. The Day After was good but too American- network TV, PBS' Testament is terrific too. Heartbreaking. We can't let people forget
Our contribution to the Holocaust
Republicans would rather you not think about these atrocities
I agree -opting out of seeing these aftereffects simply because it would make someone "feel bad"? Seems this kind of mindset is what is becoming normal! Lets not look - then the bad things go away, right??

"The Day After" even convinced Reagan.
