Hiroshima Mayor Criticizes U.S. On Anniversary Japanese Official Wants To Ban Nukes Posted: 2:01 p.m. EDT August 6, 2002
HIROSHIMA, Japan -- The mayor of Hiroshima, Japan, criticized the United States as his city marked the 57th anniversary Tuesday of the world's first atomic bomb attack.
At the annual ceremony, Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba said the United States has no right to force its ideas on the rest of the world. He also said the United States shouldn't act alone in determining the world's fate.
The mayor urged nations to ban nuclear weapons and said President George W. Bush should visit Hiroshima to see the damage that nuclear weapons can do "with his own eyes."
An atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima at the end of World War II killed about 140,000 people and sickened hundreds of thousands more. The U.S. dropped another weapon on Nagasaki later, forcing the Japanese surrender.
During Tuesday's ceremony, 1,500 white doves were released into the sky. Five hundred children sang a song of peace to an orchestral accompaniment.
