ANOTHER year, another pointless tea light float by a handful of CND people.
Must have been a quiet week for them to get half a page. No fluffy dog photos last week?
Why didn't their banner say remember Tokyo? The Americans fire bombed Tokyo on the night of March 9-10, the single deadliest air raid in history with a greater area of fire damage and loss of life than either of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima or Nagasaki!
Can CND deny that the dropping of the two bombs saved the lives of three million Japanese and one million Americans, most of them civilians before the war!
Perhaps a spokesman, or woman could tell me how many nuclear bombs have been used on civilians since Nagasaki?
I think the answer is nil and that is why it is such a brilliant deterrent. At the same time millions have been killed by non nuclear munitions.
