The Atomic Age Is 60 Years Young Today

Today marks the 60th anniversay of the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Understandably, the Japanese people used this occasion to call for an end to nuclear weapons and to call upon the U.N. to force all nationals to get rid of their nuclear arsenals. For better or for worse, we all know when that will happen -- when these same nations can replace their nukes with something even more destructive. For better or for worse, the genie is out of the bottle and he ain't going back in.
