US joins Hiroshima A-bomb memorial for 1st time

On Saturday, the San Jose Mercury News, reported that a US representative attended the Hiroshima A-bomb Memorial for the 1st time.  When I lived in Japan, many of the Japanese people I met felt the bombing made them pacifists.  Surprisingly, there didn't seem to be a lot of anger, just deep sadness for the horror that the war and bombing brought to Japan. When I went to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima, it was very sad to see what had happened.  There were parts of the museum, that I honestly couldn't bear to look at.
