On 27th May, Obama visited
Hiroshima, becoming the first United States president to do this
since the nuclear bomb was thrown in the World War II.
The president talked about nuclear
weapons and that we shouldn't use them and he said that we must never
forget what happened 71 years ago, although he didn't apologize in
the name of the country.
Obama visited the Peace Memorial
Museum and the Park, spoke with two survivours and even hugged one of
them, Mr Abe. This visit has caused diversity of opinions: some
people see this visit as a good thing and some Japanese people
welcome it, despite the fact he hasn't apologized; and other people
say that he made a very idealistic speech, but he is still the leader
of the country with the biggest nuclear arsenal.
The same thing happens with the throw
of the nuclear bomb, some people think it was good because it brought
the war to an end, but other people, amongst which there are people
who were directly or indirectly affected by the bomb, who think it
was cruel and it shouldn't have been done.
PERSONAL OPINION:
I think it's something good Obama
visiting Hiroshima, because even though he didn't apologize, it's a
way to show he accepts whan the country did. Also I like the fact he
spoke with survivours and people affected by it, because I think it
is a good gesture of him.
And about the if it was good or bad
throwing the nuclear bomb debate, I think it wasn't good, because
even though it meant the end of World War II, a lot of people died
and it had horrible consequences that are still prevailing until
nowadays.
