*Hiroshima** peace day*

It was on 6th August 1945, that the first atom bomb was dropped on
Hiroshima. Three days later on 9th August, Nagasaki was atom bombed. The two
bombs killed 350 000 people leaving behind today 250 000 traumatized
survivors who recall the pain and tragedy. *Mahatma Gandhi called it an
empty victory, a crime against humanity.*

 The dropping of the atom bomb its impact shocked the world. Nations after
nations, peoples after peoples resolved never to produce or use the bomb,

But today  10 nations of the world USA, UK, France, Israel, Iran, North
Korea, China, Pakistan and India  posses together 30 000 nuclear war heads
capable of destroying the world 350 000 times.

Japan abolished its army and maintains only a self defense force. 24 nations
