[Peace-discuss] Nagasaki Day

[C. G. Estabrook]

Middle East will be extended and expanded.  --CGE

"I was a bombardier in WW 2. When you are up 30,000 feet you do not hear the 
screams or smell the blood or see those without limbs or eyes. It was not till I 
read Hersey's Hiroshima that I realized what bomber pilots do."  --Howard Zinn

"Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my 
own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended 
animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone 
in the military service."  --Gen. Smedley Butler, "War is a Racket" (1935)
