I fully expected that by the time I was twenty-one, some scientist, maybe my brother, would have taken a colour photograph of God Almighty — and sold it to Popular Mechanics magazine. Scientific truth was going to make us so happy and comfortable.What actually happened when I was twenty-one was that we dropped scientific truth on Hiroshima.","author":"Kurt Vonnegut Jr.","tags":["hiroshima","kurt-vonnegut","science","slaughterhouse-five"],"id":125075,"author_id":"Kurt+Vonnegut+Jr."},{"text":"Hiroshima and Nagasaki were atomized at a time when the Japanese were suing desperately for peace.

Among the airmen who obeyed the order to drop the bomb, the many scientists who helped to make it, the President, the many political and military advisers involved in the decision, who killed the people of Hiroshima? No one seems to have felt that the responsibility was fully his.","author":"Jonathan Glover","tags":["atomic-bomb","hiroshima","killing","morality","responsibiliya"],"id":291487,"author_id":"Jonathan+Glover"},{"text":"When the Russian delegate this summer indicated the Soviet Union's interest in sending medical equipment, Dr Shigeto went right away to see the delegate and settle the matter tactfully. He is careful to steer clear of the superficial swirl of political maneuvering, but never misses any opportunity to improve the capability of the A-bomb Hospital or to enhance concretely the welfare of the patients. In that sense, he sometimes refers to himself as a 'dirty handkerchief.' That is, he serves to filter political purposes out of relief efforts so that the effect on patients is purely and concretely humane.","author":"Kenzaburō Ōe","tags":["a-bomb","a-bomb-hospital","dirty-handkerchief","donation","dr-shigeto","hiroshima","political"],"id":307734,"author_id":"Kenzabur%C5%8D+%C5%8Ce"},{"text":"I cannot conceive that the man who dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a machine. He also had a heart, just like you. He also had his wife and children, his old mother and father. He was as much a human being as you are—with a difference. He was trained to follow orders without questioning, and when the order was given, he simply followed it.","author":"Osho","tags":["following-orders","heart","hiroshima","nagasaki","orders"],"id":318483,"author_id":"Osho"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":14,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
