Now, I have two questions.
-Did Japan make as big a deal out of hiroshima? I dont really know.
-Do you think the US is a bit overprivilaged if they make a big deal out of such a little (in comparison with Hiroshima) attack?

1. In their own way yes. http://www.pcf.city.hiroshima.jp/pea...-4/3-4-4E.html

It was also a factor in almost eliminating national militarism for fifty years. Considering Nippon's history that is startling.

2. The last time the mainland United States had such military/terror losses by a foreign power was the War of 1812. Americans have no problem with retail death (auto accidents, alcohol, street people freezing in winter) but are impressed by wholesale slaughter. Most impressed when it is televised.
