What you say about the contrast between the response of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is so true, and evident in the atomic blast museums of each city. Hiroshima stresses the victimhood of the residents and paints the US as using the bomb solely to gain advantage over the USSR to preclude its entry into the war. Nagasaki stresses the sadness of it all and concludes with an exhibit on the progress of efforts to control nuclear arms and a plea for disarmament. Very different experiences.
