Its not them its US

Mr. Takahashi’s words seem enough to know that dropping the nuclear bombs was not necessary. “Or if the Allies had said they would allow the emperor system to continue, Japan would instantly have raised its hands” (Mr. Takahashi). There were diplomatic alternatives, of course there were. Absent from our readings is the modern perspective on nuclear weapons and the Non-proliferation Treaty. The United States is one of the only countries to reject the Non-proliferation Treaty. The United States is set to spend one trillion dollars on upgrading its nuclear arsenal in the coming decades (follow the DemocracyNow! link for that data). And the US has armed Israel with nuclear weapons. This may be the worst of US actions because the US has created a nuclear power outside of its own jurisdiction in a state trending towards jingoist fascism. The same country that devastated Hiroshima has learned nothing. We seem to be heading towards our own destruction. As for the rest of the world— why would any other country stand down their nuclear arsenal when the reigning imperial power refuses to even sign a non-proliferation treaty, is arming militant states and has a history of using Nuclear weapons for personal gain? This responsibility lands squarely on our shoulders. And as citizens of this country benefiting from its wealth we personally are responsible.
