people died because the radiation killed them, but unlikely roche ma, the bomb did not -- hiroshima, the bomb did not level nagasaki, so it is still, in fact, a city with many ancient relics and ruins and so forth. that's the kind of stuff that, you know, you don't -- unless you go there, you don't necessarily ever find out about, you know, the differences in language? >> okay. >> when you wrote whirlwind, what did can you find? >> i'm still amazed at this, the first one-volume account of air operations over japan including not just the u.s. navy, but the army and british royal navy. the thing that struck me, you know, americans have always said there was a second front in world war ii, and it was along the to toe mack in -- potomac in washington, d.c. with army versus army/air force. but in tokyo interservice rivalry was practically a full-contact sport. the imperial navy and the japanese army cordially detested each other, they spoke to each other as little as possible, and institutionally they were so far removed -- and as a pilot, this just makes my brain hurt -- the japanese arm

at 1% of a hiroshima bomb, you release 200 times the energy of that bomb that had it been placed better would have toppled one tower on another. in other words, it's going to be a terrible mess. there's a lot of terrorists out there who say they don't need a rolls royce. the last thing, and this is something that also pertains to iran as well as other contexts. they are talking about, well, iran does not have a missile to put this on yet, and that's true. we don't know that the lockertree is doing better than north korea. north korea may have to go back to rocket camp, which does not disstress me in the slightest, and in the case, however, the iranians, they are having pretty good success, and that comes down to miniaturizing your warhead enough to it'll fit inside a missile nose, a bomb, not too heavy to be carried by an aircraft, or if you are really advanced, as a small number of nations are, inside an artillery shell to use in tactical battlefield. what have we been talking about since 9/11? the focus has been called aggression law of the unconventional threat. you can say "unorthod

is a preposterous notion if you have been to hiroshima you will see what incredible death and destruction it does. no nation could ever consider it never mind the blasting on the ongoing basis. i think this is obfuscations what happens to the palestinian people they were going to attack a few weeks ago. that is the end result i have been a lifelong zionist. i see that israel more and more isolated and surrounded to any been greater degree. and have already given up the fact peace will not happen in my lifetime. israel will go down fighting. i would like your comment. >> will briefly say with all due respect it is not enough. if you don't have a partner it is not enough. today we don't have a partner. we do care about the palestinians to look as syria so frequently with the double standard to compare with is happening to israel but to achieve not a piece of paper that we will have to wait. >> i actually a christian my background is in no pain persecuted people but unfortunately i a have concluded it is not possible to achieve. if people being put on the no right to exist list. virginia per

the second thing is, a single hiroshima weapon well if dropped in an air burst, it will have a radiance, what they called the five psi circle, five pounds per square inch, of roughly, the radius would be roughly let's say a half mile going around so it's a mile in diameter. and while you wouldn't destroy all of the city if you had three or four of those going off in tel aviv, three or four of those going off in haifa, and you might have air burst and also ground bursts. if you do that you want a groundbirch that will kick up countless thousands, hundreds of thousands of tons of radioactive material, which would the highly lethal in the immediate area. the most intense radioactivity within the first couple of weeks. as you get further along, it's less dangerous but you could have very easily a few hundred thousand fatalities. in a country the size of israel, let's put in that intent perspective of the united states. let's assume that they leave jerusalem alone or if they think they have enough accuracy to hit west jerusalem alone they will if it doesn't hit somewhere else. i might add if

when the first bomb was dropped on hiroshima probably 70,000 people live on the spot. similar loss of life and three days later another bomb was dropped on nagasaki. at the same time the united states had been thinking of attacking japan with atomic weapons. an invasion of japan was being mounted. estimates were that if you had to land may be half a million would be lost. even looking from the standpoint of the japanese, the japanese have shown a willingness to take terrific casualties in the campaigns of guadalcanal, casualties that are inconceivable to us of 95% of the defenders dalia on these islands and we can imagine if the japanese were ready to fight that fiercely how they would have defended the home islands with subsequent massive military casualties. roosevelt's third role, as i mentioned earlier, is us eight morrill officer in the chief. as the commander of the people at war, convincing them that there are sacrifices in the loss of their loved ones was worth doing in the preservation freedom. how could he go about this? one thing that he did this to use his

i think it is a preposterous notion if you have ever been to humorous you -- hiroshima. my question to you is, i think that a lot of this is trying to, as far as i'm concerned, what is happening to the palestinian people? what kind of future do they face, and there was an attack on some palestinians in jerusalem a few days ago, or a few weeks ago. today, that is the end result over israel's policy over the last 20 or 30 or 40 years. i have been a lifelong zionist. i see in israel that is more and more isolated. also more surrounded by enemies to an even greater degree. i would just like to know, will the day come -- i have already given up the fact that it will be in my lifetime. israel will go down fighting. that is a reality and i would just like to comment on that. thank you. >> i would like to say it takes two to tango. today, we don't have a partner and we do care about the palestinians. it is essential what is happening in syria, we are investigating what is going on in the double standard if you compare what is happening compared to what is happening in israel. bu

dropped atomic bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki in august of 1945, more than 200,000 people were killed instantly. in the years that followed, over 100,000 additional people died of radiation poisoning. the japanese people today continue to experience the devastating and long-term effects of the bomb. it is now widely acknowledged by many top u.s. government officials at the time of the war that dropping the bomb on japan was completely unnecessary. and i want to get into that section at this moment, so that those who say, well, we need to create a memorial to the bomb because it ended the war, well that's not true. i'm going to give you some quotes, mr. speaker, this is from dwight david eisenhower, who was general of the armies and also later on president of the united states. he said, in july, 1945, secretary of war stinson, visiting my headquarters in germany, informed me that our government was preparing to drop an atomic bomb on japan. i was one of those who felt there was a number of cogent reasons to question the wisdom of such an act. the secretary, upon giving me the news of t

john heresy, whose book on hiroshima in 1946, he interviews some of the japanese who are there, it's a bestseller in '46. in 1994 the smithsonian can't mount an exhibit showing japanese suffering. but in '46 we're more willing to at least think about it. i'm not taking a position even on truman here, right or wrong. i'm saying that the public had a broader perspective and a more sort of, there were more cross currents in the way we saw world war ii in the '40s than we saw it in the '90s where we were very reluctant to look at a critical appraisal of the war. >> [inaudible] >> the one thing i'm missing is what happens to the existential in the abyss and the sense of nothingness with all the books and the memorials in their own way of the meaninglessness and the astonishment that came from all the death of the second world war, from all the horrors of hitler, before the bomb. this theme seems to be completely absent in the discussion we're having now. >> so you didn't read the book. [laughter] >> [inaudible] >> you get a b+. i talk a little bit about that, and your point is a very good

reporters scampered through the ruins of ramadi and said this reminds me of images of hiroshima and dresden and stalingrad. it was the provincial capital of anbar province and basically the headquarters of the base they were attempting to launch in iraq. right-of-way three things were obvious to travis patriquin and his colleagues. they had to attack the firepower and they they also had to rebuild the shattered local iraqi police force and reach out to the remaining tribal shakes. a lot of them had fled the horror of this and there weren't many left. although he was only a junior officer, patrick and became the -- patriquin launch the awakening movement that helped transform the award. i think travis patriquin's symbol not only the americans have served in iraq but the americans who died there and that many americans who help the iraqis tried to build a new nation out of the horror of this war. perhaps the best way of understanding who patriquin was was to hear what the iraqis said about him and what they told me. in the words of the man who created the awakening movement, travis patriquin

despite a two world wars and ethnic bombs dropped on hiroshima -- and atomic bombs are dropped on hiroshima, and weapons of mass destruction and terrorism continue to be issues. as nuclear and missile issues in the republic of korea and iran currently cause a serious threat to the entire world. it is indispensable for each country to coordinates, including that the security council resolution urged both to take concrete actions. japan, the only country that has experienced the horror of nuclear devastation, we will continue to carry out a mission of seeking a world free of nuclear weapons. it prevents the validation of basic human rights. it is a matter of great concern to the entire international community. realize the return through strength and coordination. japan maintains to resolve a standing. in accordance with the declaration, japan urges -- humans have done more. we also have the skill of solving conflicts. this is for the world. the responsibility to protect and ensure the safety of sovereignty. japan has responsibilities in accordance with national laws. meanwhile, as globalizati

[laughter] i should recuse myself because i was there. the question is meant to be historical, not personal. and i can always -- i'm an optimist, and i think there are so many journalists today that there are plenty like them. that's my count

we dropped nuclear weapons on hiroshima and nagasaki. we killed millions of innocent human beings, but that was the world does of war -- cost of war. now today with the television and internet and everything else, we go to war and the next day you see somebody that's injurd, a woman, a child, they -- injured, this woman, a child, they say it's horrible. our military is handcuffed. they say they can't go after and go after these guys in certain areas because of the potential civilian casualties. we can't run a war like that. you either go in to win or you don't go in at all. we shouldn't risk american lives and treasure unless we are going in to win. that's why when i think back to iraq, i think back maybe we should have gone in and beat the hell out of saddam hussein, let them know we weren't going to put up with that, and pulled out and say you got a country. you run it properly if you conduct yourself in the way you did before, we'll be back. it would have scared iran to death, the taliban to death. instead we went in there to nation b
