Sadami Naganishi, 73, of Hiroshima, said she was just glad to see Pelosi at the memorial. She hopes the G-8 officials' visit to the city leads to heightened recognition of the horrors of the atomic bomb and greater commitment toward eradicating the world of nuclear weapons.
"I hope they see what happened here and take that back to their countries," said Naganishi, whose father died of a bomb-related illness several years after the war. "The bomb shattered my family. It changed our whole lives."
Someone should remind those Japanese that if they hadn't started the war and been acting like animals, they wouldn't have gotten the bombs. Frankly, looking at what they did to our POWs and the Chinese, they got off light.
