I understand it was about 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945 when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. I feel very badly about what happened to the people there. I've seen some film and photographs of the injured, especially the burned, and they are very hard to look at. I can still recall when I was a child seeing a photo of someone born after the bombing who suffered from major physical disabilities and it is so sad to know that person has to live such a difficult life. However, I do not for a moment see Japan as the victim. They started the war, they were very brutal to the people in the areas occupied by Japan. There are many on our side who died fighting them, or were permanently injured, too. We are not the bad guys here, we were simply trying to bring the war to an end as quickly as possible.
