I agree.
Japan does not need to do a research into nuclear weapons
by himself now.
The Japanese defense technology is completely under control of
the Pentagon now, and Japan is outsourcing most military researches
to US now.
I am happy with the current situation. :-)

Surely, that's the point which I mean.
Germany and Japan encountered the similar disaster afterwards. :-(

I am glad that you understand the Japanese people's tribute
to Hibakusha.
For me,the matter is about an incident which happened 65 years ago,
I don't care about it so much.

Otherwise, I am shocked by a news that
confidential military records about American and British corps
in Afghanistan have been leaked on Wikilkeak now,
and more British and American soldiers are getting fallen down
under Taliban bullets day by day.
I am deeply paying tributes to
fallen or injured British and American soldiers on Youtube videos
in the 21st century now. :'(
