First Australian PM at Hiroshima? For Shame.

By Nick Hodge | June 9, 2008

Atomic Dome, Hiroshima, Japan

From the ABC: “Rudd lays wreath for Hiroshima victims

Mr Rudd is the first Australian prime minister to visit Hiroshima's Peace Park and Memorial.

How embarrassing for Australia. Why has no other Prime Minister visited Hiroshima? Incredulous.

On the other hand, I wonder if a Japanese Prime Minister will visit the Thailand-Burma Railway and apologize.

One day, maybe.
