8:30Now PlayingPresident Obama is in the middle of a historic trip to Hiroshima Japan. He is there to commemorate the bombing of the city by the US at the end of World War II. Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick), John Iadarola (ThinkTank), and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“With an unflinching look back at a painful history, President Barack Obama stood on the hallowed ground of Hiroshima on Friday and declared it a fitting place to summon people everywhere to embrace the vision of a world without nuclear weapons.
As the first American president to visit the city where the U.S. dropped the first atomic bomb, Obama came to acknowledge — but not apologize for — an act many Americans see as a justified end to a brutal war that Japan started with a sneak attack at Pearl Harbor.
Some 140,000 people died after a U.S. warplane targeted wartime Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, and 70,000 more perished in Nagasaki, where a second bomb was dropped three days later. Japan soon surrendered.
"Their souls speak to us," Obama said of the dead. "They ask us to look inward, to take stock of who we are and who we might become.””*
