Why we may not realize this goal in Obama’s lifetime?

President Obaha came to Hiroshima. The visit to Hiroshima by a sitting American president is meaningful. A rehash is not welcomed. His speech in Prague was, made me move. But he didn’t say nothing new in Hiroshima. He all the way came to Hiroshima from Prague said nothing new. He said that we may not realize this goal in his lifetime. I don’t think so. Because we have already abolished the chemical weapons and the antipersonnel landmines. Only if the nuclear weapon countries agree, we can abolish nukes. Obama shouldn’t say we may not realize the goal now. He should say to other nuclear countries to start the negotiation to abolish nukes now. That’s his last mission.

I welcome president Obama’s visit to Hiroshima

I welcome president Obama’s visit to Hiroshima.

For the moment I don’t expect that Obama will express apology for dropping the atomic bombs. I know in US there are various opinions about the bombings. The US government didn’t let the former ambassador Roos to offer flowers to the sprits of the victims when he travelled to Hiroshima in 2010.

I’m looking forward to hear Obama’s speech in Hiroshima. It should not be just empty words, but concrete remarks. For example, Obama should say that nuclear weapons are inhuman and US will take part in discussions about the Nuclear Weapons Convention. And Obama will be a real Novel Peace Prize winner.
