Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the Twin Towers
I took the day off work yesterday and, well, one thing led to another and I got to thinking about the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima. And then Nagasaki. And the really lame reason given out as to why it "had" to be done - that the war would continue, otherwise, and people would die.
I mean, is that even trying?
Anyway, I've never seen this in print before, so don't report me to the Internet police if you have, but I wonder if the Islamic Fundamentalists had that double whammy in mind when the brought down one World Trade Centre tower. And then the other one.
I imagine Terrorists! think these things through pretty obsessively and there is a kind of awful symmetry to it - including the lame reason for having done it. As if it was for some kind of good and not just a barbaric way of telling the world, "we can do this because we're THAT crazy".
I know, I know, get back to work, Sooey. No good can come of a day off.
