    The sazae and amaebi were both delicious -- the sashimi was kind of chewy and tough. I have no idea what kind of fish it was but I'd never had it before.

    I've been confronted with sazae three times now. The first time it was whole(minus the head) and blue--i refused to eat it. The second time it was like in your picture, but so tough i couldn't finish. The third time, i asked the math teacher beside me if he wanted it..he declined as one was enough and it was not oiishi..so i gave it to one of the secretaries to eat...but i never refuse amaebi.

    Slaughter in response to slaughter. I suppose the flip side is that the bombings put an immediate end to the war, perhaps saving more lives in the long run. But to think that we can get to a point where it takes 140,000 deaths to resolve a conflict... it boggles the mind.

    From the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum pamphlet:

    "Why Did the U.S. Decide to Drop the Bomb on Japan?

    With Japan in an extremely weak position, the United States was considering the following ways of bringing the long war on an end: invade the Japanese mainland, ask the Soviet Union to join the war against Japan, assure continuation of the emperor system, or use the atomic bomb. The U.S. believed that if the atomic bomb could end the war, Soviet influence after the war would be restricted and domestically the tremendous cost of development would be justified."

    That may sound a bit biased to some, but I was struck by how even-handed the experience at the museum actually was. In addition to the myriad of displays showing the suffering endured by the people of Hiroshima at the hands of unearthly fire and radiation, there were also exhibits devoted to the lead-up to the bombing on both sides of the Pacific. There was frank admission of Japan's militarism; the seeming nonchalance of the Emperor in the face of the nation's suffering during wartime; and even the rape of Nanking, where perhaps 300,000 Chinese civilians were massacred by Japanese troops over a 2-3 month period in 1937-1938. In comparison, by December of 1945, 140,000 Japanese army personnel and civilians had died as a result of the bomb and its associated effects.
