Who can every forget Hiroshima of Japan. It’s the place where the US flights have dropped their atom bomb named as “Little Boy” on 6th August 1945. The devastation caused by Little Boy is too huge to bear. It has resulted in 1,40,000 deaths either due to explosion or due to radiation. Three days later, another nuke was dropped on Nagasaki, concluding the World War II.
Though the world has condemned the bombings, many Americans are still of the view that it was a necessary step to defeat Japan. Keeping an eye on the sensitivity of the issue, no American higher diplomat has ever dared to visit the site. Now John Kerry becomes the first one to break the rule. Kerry has been touring in Japan as a delegate in the G7 foreign ministers meeting. He has today visited the site in Hiroshima where the nuke has exploded and expressed his sympathy over the incident. But the US government has ruled out, that no apologies would be expressed about the incident. Well! Who will break that rule now!
