Today's Today

August 9, 1945 - three days after dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the US drops another one on Nagasaki Japan.

A Japanese kid is pictured here with his dead brother strapped to his back, waiting at the crematorium.

Nobody knows for sure, but estimates on the death toll for these two "attacks"(*) are between 129,000 and 226,000 - including 12 American POWs.

(*): These "attacks" were later informally acknowledged by Curtis Lemay (US Bomber Command - Asia) as War Crimes.

This country carries a lot of baggage.
