Another August 6th

Today is the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, followed shortly thereafter by the bombing of Nagasaki. So far, watching the News (CNN, MSNBC) I haven't caught any mention of it.

I'll let my past posts speak for themselves:

2009: An almost unmentioned anniversary

2010: The most destructive use ever of weapons of mass destruction

2011: Another August 6th

2012: Yet another August 6th

2013: August 6, 1945

2014: It's August 6th, again

2015: August 6, 2015

2016: August 6, again

After a year: genocide by any other name

And the name, I learned this week, is: The Dahiya Doctrine.  Mehdi Hassan explains here .
