President Obama's hedging

The United States President Obama visited Japan today, and he and Prime Minister Hatoyama had a meeting a little while ago. At the press conference, President Obama hedged the answer of the question that a Japanese journalist asked how he thinks about the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I understand why he did so. But I wished he was wiser than any other presidents in the past. Unfortunately, a lot of people in the United States think it was right to drop the atomic bombs to make Japan stop the war. Whether President Obama thinks it was good or bad, he cannot be able to apologize for the atomic bombs. If he said an apology for that, many American people would explode in anger and demand of resignation.

People who think the atomic bombs were right should visit Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome in Hiroshima or Urakami Cathedral and Atomic Bomb Museum in Nagasaki. I'm sure they will change their minds.

Oh, ignorance is a sin!
