Two U.S. historians contributed a special report to the Chugoku Shimbun recently.
Martin Sherwin, a professor of history at Tufts University, is a specialist
for nuclear issues including the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Kai Bird is a Fellow at the Smithsonian's Woodrow Wilson International
Center for Scholars.
Sherwin and Bird analyzed the Implications of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C. and pointed out the dangers of nuclear weapons in the Post-Cold War World. They appealed to U.S. and Japanese citizens, especially residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to work for the abolition of all nuclear weapons. They added the message, "We would like the Japanese people to know about our appeal and to display active initiatives for the abolition of nuclear weapons and the search for global peace." |
