Seventy years ago \u2013 on 6 August 1945 at roughly 08:15:45 AM Japanese Standard Time, which converts to 7:15:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time the previous day \u2013 the Japanese city of Hiroshima ceased to exist.\u00a0 On 9 August 1945, the Japanese city of Nagasaki followed suit.<\/p>\n

Less than a week afterwards, the Emperor of Japan publicly announced his acceptance of Allied surrender terms.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve written about the US nuclear missions against Japan previously.\u00a0 I have no reason to change what I said then.\u00a0 Read the original article if you like; it can be found here<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019ll again say this much: if you\u2019re so inclined, perhaps take a moment to say a prayer for the souls of those who died that day at Hiroshima, and for those who died three days later at Nagasaki.\u00a0 And while you’re at it, maybe add a second prayer – that we never again have the need to use such weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
