Reading Response 8: Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The begining paragraph of  the chapter "Political Imperatives I : Technology for Better or for Worse?" brings me back to the year 1945,  which on one hand symbolizes the end of the World War Ⅱand the coming age of peaceful life, on the other hand causes tragedies to some nations, like Japan, although it is one of the "evils" in this war.

Who is the killer to Japan? It is the human technology, the newest and powerful weapon (the atomic bomb) that pushes the whole country into desperate situation. It is very sad to recall this history. The United States dropped two atomic bombs to two cities of Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on August 6, 1945 and  August 9, 1945 respectively, which I think is the most deadly catastrophe technology does to the human beings. All the humanity hope that it is the first, moreover, the last use of this mass destruction weapon. The atomic bombs leveled the two cities at the moment they exploded, and 150,000~246,000 people lost their lives in this terrorism conducted by America.

Although the Japanese armies are guilty to invade other nations, but thousands of Japanese civilians are innocent. The USA should apolygize to the Japanese for their cruelty, the technology should apolygize to those innocent souls. Remember that technology should be only used to befenit people, never abuse it as the weapon to do harms. World peace should be put in the first place!

This is a real, precious documentary to this tragedy. Followed is the first part of the film, the full version is on the wbsite :
