Hiroshima / Nagasaki was a special kind of atrocity...the point of all the
hoopla is to try to prevent similar occurences in the future.  Why don't
you stop whining about how special interest groups don't try to do everything
but wash your kitchen sink and write your congressperson?  You could maybe
complain about renewed production of chemical weapons or something.

(Note: Much of the debate at the recent END (European Nuclear Disarmament)
 meeting in Amsterdam was inspired by what is seen as a shift by both
 Eastern and Western European groups to assessing blame for the arms
 race to both major powers.)
