DESCRIPTION:FAT MAN,LITTLE BOY& THE MUSHROOM CLOUD! \nRembrance, Resistance and 
 Revolution! \n(Poets Reflect on America's Crimes of Empire)\nAugust 6,1945, 
 the U.S. dropped an atom bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.Three days 
 later, Nagasaki was bombed.140,00 people died in Hiroshima and 90,000 in 
 Nagasaki. This was an enormous historic crime.Yet to this day, the U.S. 
 rulers have no regrets and have issued no apologies. As the U.S.threatens 
 war-including the use of nuclear weapons-against Iran,supposedly because 
 the Islamic regime seeks nuclear weapons capability,it is more important 
 than ever to emphasize what country has been the first and ONLY  to ever 
 actually use such weapons.\nToday, the U.S. has 10,000  nuclear 
 weapons.While the prospect of an all out nuclear  exchange between Russian 
 and the U.S. has receded, the U.S.has continued to develop(and George Bush 
 talks openly of) new and "more usable" nuclear weapons.All this, while U.S. 
 nuclear missile-armed battleships cruise the Persian Gulf off the coast of 
 Iran and threats of a U.S./Israeli attack on Iran escalate.Yes, they would 
 use them! What else could Hilary Clinton have meant when she threatened to 
 "totally obliterate Iran"?Although Barack Obama  has called that language 
 "inappropriate",as recently as July 2008,he stressed that "all options [up 
 to and including nuclear weapons]are "on the table".\nHiroshima/Nagasaki- 
 NEVER AGAIN!\n"I heard children crying,buildings collapsing,men and women 
 screaming.I saw the bright red of blood and people with dazed expressions 
 on their faces trying to get away...I want to call out 'people of the 
 world,do not let what Hiroshima has experienced ever be repeated.'"-Yoko 
 Kuwahama,school girl from Hiroshima\nLooking back and then looking 
 forward:what crimes must we repudiate?And  what kind of world do we dream 
 of , and fight to bring into being?\n
