The Japanese government has repeatedly strongly advocated that Obama visit Hiroshima or Nagasaki during his term of office. Previously, the Japanese media repeatedly cited senior U.S. government officials, Obama is expected to visit Hiroshima in May at the Group of Seven (G7) summit held in Japan. Recently, on U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Hiroshima, U.S. White House spokesman Ernest said on the 2nd that Obama's schedule has not been finalized. But he confirmed that Obama will not apologize for the atomic bombing of Japan.

 
    So, is it that Obama should apologize for the atomic bombing of Japan? Some people think that the lives of the people of our compatriots are lives, and so are the lives of the enemy's people. Even though Japan's brutal militaristic aggression hurt many of its Asian compatriots and committed atrocities that are beyond the pale, it does not mean that their innocent people need to be victimized, and this kind of indiscriminate bombing is not right.

      There are also those who think that the above view is too "sanctimonious", when the only way to stop a murderer who cries out for the destruction of 100 million people is to strike them with a heavy blow. Moreover, when you stop a murderer from killing, you are actually saving more innocent people, and it is conceivable that if the end of the Second World War had been delayed, more civilians would have been sacrificed on the land of China.

      The above are two views that I have intercepted on the Internet, and I will not discuss for the time being which side of the argument should be supported. Just my own opinion: I think that whether the United States apologizes or not is actually a moral debate about "Our Lady". Does America need to apologize? I don't think it does! But at the same time, I think the United States needs to apologize!

      At some point the word "Madonna" began to appear all around us. In the spirit of humanism that has prevailed since the Second World War, more and more things are being dredged up by the "Madonna" and apologies are being demanded. They believe that life is precious and that no one has the right to take away another's life. Tolerance and forgiveness should be chosen in all circumstances, rather than resorting to extreme measures. Personally, I think the proliferation of Madonnas is a good sign, at least people are starting to think about things from a different perspective. (Emphasis on the fact that the Virgin Mary does not have any positive or negative connotations attached to it.)

     Does America need to apologize? I do not think it needs to. At the end of World War II, on the premise that Japanese militarism had realized that it could no longer achieve any military victory, it still went on a rampage of aggression and massacre and did not agree to unconditional surrender.

      On July 26, Japanese Prime Minister Suzuki publicly responded in the media that it was impossible for Japan to surrender unconditionally.

      On July 30, Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Japan after defeating the four countries that urged Japan to surrender ineffectively.

      However, after Japan suffered a heavy blow from the first atomic bomb, the militarists still had no intention of agreeing to surrender, looting, slaughtering, they still did what they were doing, and even shouted the slogans of "one hundred million dead" and "the emperor will not die if we can destroy the regiment". They are still doing what they are doing.

      Imagine that the power of the atomic bomb could not stop the Japanese military state from killing. A normal conventional war would only delay the surrender of the Japanese army and lead to the death of more innocent people. Imagine, had it not been for the beastly bloodthirstiness of the Japanese military state, would the atomic bomb have fallen on their heads? May I ask, should the United States take all the blame for the killing of Japanese civilians? Did Japan ever think of its people? If so, why did they not give up and surrender in the face of an impossible war, but instead of abducting the people in the opposite direction and shouting the slogan of dying together?

      It is true that there were many good inhabitants who were not the aggressors who died in the atomic bombs. Their sacrifice for a bloody peace should also have been a human tragedy. In terms of higher humanitarian considerations, the U.S. atomic bomb hastened the end of the war and prevented more killing. Of course during the 50 years after the war, there were revelations that the victorious Four, led by the United States, had been quite hasty in having intercepted the emails sent by Japan to Russia in early July without puncturing the false dream of a Japanese-Russian alliance, and negotiating in bad faith. At the same time a number of reflective essays have appeared in contemporary America arguing that there were actually more ways to avoid the use of the atomic bomb while achieving better or the same results. I have a lot of respect for the scholars who have summarized this, and the constructive options offered. But isn't it too much of an "afterthought" to reflect on an event after it has happened? During the time of war, the U.S. chose to end the war as soon as possible by dropping the atomic bomb, instead of examining in detail the issues related to "politicism" and "human rights", which I think is perfectly understandable. After all, in the midst of a bitter war, it is very difficult to rationally weigh the rights and interests of each party. Most importantly, in militarism, which is based on the belief of Bushido, the A-bomb was actually a stepping stone for the surrender of Japan.

      So, is it necessary for the United States to apologize? I think it is very necessary to apologize. Putting aside my own nationalistic feelings, from the point of view of the United States, it is unacceptable to treat the lives of civilians as mere weeds and to bomb them indiscriminately for any reason whatsoever. "The idea that the United States should apologize to Japan is not a bad thing, and that acknowledging the harm done to the civilian population and avoiding wars in the future that would harm innocent people is what humanity is advocating as it moves forward. Of course, I sincerely hope that by the time I open my eyes tomorrow, there will be no more harm in the world to apologize for! Japan and America apologize to each other, the whole world apologizes to each other, for that brutal blood bath.
