First Australian PM at Hiroshima? For Shame.

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.
