Last week was the 72nd. anniversary of the firebombing of Tokyo during World War II. The single night bombing raid with over 300 B-29 bombers, killed between 80,000 and 100,000 people. Greater than the single day numbers at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The world community gives a non-commital shrug of the shoulders each March. No outrage. Indifference at best, apathy at worst. The world has accepted some forms of slaughter as the inevitable consequence of war.
Alex Wellerstein, the best writer on the planet about issues which are pertinent to the Oak Ridge story, wrote a blog about Tokyo over two years ago. It's a great piece. Hope you enjoy it.
