About Obama's possible visit Hiroshima after the G7 summit in late April, reported Japanese media. This will be the first visit of the incumbent US president in the city, which the Americans dropped in August 1945 an atomic bomb.

Obama to visit Hiroshima, together with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as part of a trip to Vietnam and Japan from 21 to 28 May. As he wrote in a statement the White House, the purpose of the visit is "to highlight the commitment to peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons."

So far, the leaders of the United States avoided a trip to this city, which reminded about American aggression from years ago. Hiroshima visited only Jimmy Carter, but only in 1984., After leaving office.

April 11 US Secretary of State John Kerry as the first head of American diplomacy visited, along with other foreign ministers of the G7 Peace Memorial Museum and Peace Park Hiroshima and paid tribute to the victims of the atomic bomb. Commentators wrote at the time that Kerry's visit to Hiroshima may pave the way for a visit to the city of President Obama.

Obama did not apologize for Hiroshima

However, as reported by the British BBC, one of the closest associates of Obama and the deputy adviser. national security Ben Rhodes stressed that the journey is not to be back to a dramatic past, but "look at the future together" .

"Obama will not be examining them deciding to use the atomic bomb at the end of world war II. This visit will be an opportunity to commemorate all the innocent victims who lost during the war" - wrote Rhodes on a social networking medium.

6 August 1945, Americans dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, resulting in the end of October killed 90 thousand. to 166 thousand. residents of the city. Three days later, the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, resulting in the killing of 75 thousand. humans. However, it is difficult to determine precisely how many fatalities involved in these attacks; their total number is estimated at 275 thousand. To this day, however, in Japan, people are dying because of radiation sickness.

  I assure editor (mo) that for many, many years, no one in Japan do not die of radiation sickness caused With these explosions of nuclear - everyone who could therefore die, they did still the forties of the last century, and in the majority in 1945.

                               This is a step forward, not deny it. But the refusal to grant the discharge of the atomic bomb the surrender of Japan, and the city civilian was a mistake? Let alone a war crime?

  Hundreds of thousands of people were murdered in an instant. No soldiers, no representatives of the emperor, no, nothing ignorant citizens.

  How many hundreds of years we will, Zey admit that it was a crime to humanity?
