Historians say war survivors in ASIA remained angry over Japan?Ts fierce occupation during World War II. For almost 4 years, Japanese forces occupied almost much of ASIA (đây ko fải là từ viết tắt nên ko việc gì fải viết chữ in như thế), from China to the Pacific islands. Experts say Japanese soldiers killed many Asians unnecessarily. Soldiers also ***ually attacked many Asian women or used others as *** slaves. Japan argued that its occupation was necessary to regain control of ASIA from European and American governments.
Brian Farrel is a historian at the National University of Singapore. He told VOA reporter Harold Baron Heda Bayron that many survivors are still angry at Japan. In ad***ion, Mr. Farrel says Japan?Ts apparent lack of carrying caring about its past cruelty has hurt its relations with other Asian nations.
On August 2nd, the Japanese parliament passed a resolution expressing deep regret for the suffering that Japan caused during the war. Prime Minister Koizumi released a similar statement on August 15th, the official day of Japan?Ts surrender. The statement said: ?~Japan caused great damage and pain to people lived in of ASIA through its colonization and expression aggression.
The statement expressed deep sadness and hard heartfelt apology.
Other recent issues have home harmed Japanese tired ties with ASIA nations. Earlier this year, Japan approved new schoolbooks for history classes. Critics say the books do not correctly describe the nation?Ts actions accent during World War II. Tensions have also increased over visits by Japanese officials to the Yasukunie Memorial in Tokyo. The memorial honors Japanese soldiers who died during military services. Critics say the memorial includes convicted war criminals.
After the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings in 1945, Japan became a strong anti-nuclear nation. The attacks created a common feeling of oppositions against atomic weapons. Since 1956, It has been national policy not to have, manufacture of promote or permit nuclear weapons in Japan.
However, the country has a successful nuclear energy industry. And law-makers are starting the question whether Japan should create a nuclear defense systems. Kazushiro Haraguchi is a Parliament member from the opposition Democratic Party. He told the VOA reporter Tim Steve Herman that North Korea?Ts nuclear ability may soon force Japan to create its own nuclear weapons.
The world came very close to a nuclear war during the Cuban?Ts Missile Crisis in 1962. For several days, the US Navy blocked Cuba after discovering the Soviet Union has been shipping nuclear missiles to the country. The crisis late till led to the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Today, about 190 countries have signed the international agreement. In exchange for giving up nuclear weapons, they have promised to work for toward nuclear disarmament.
They also have agreed not to pass nuclear weapons to the countries that do not have them. And they have agreed to share nuclear technology for peaceful energy purposes only.
Today, seven nations in the world are known to have nuclear weapons: Russia, China, India, Pakistan, France, Britain and the US. Most experts believe that Israel and North Korea also have nuclear weapons.
Many of these nations have reduced nuclear weapons. They included the US, Britain, Russia and France. China is working to modernize its weapons program. Libya has ended its program to develop nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency has taken apart Iraq?Ts program.
But some experts questioned: whether the world is any safer. In 2002, North Korea expelled inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency. It has seen it since admitted that it has a small number of nuclear weapons. Talks among 6 nations urging N.Korea to end its nuclear program have produced little progress.
The situation in Iran is also tense. Earlier this month, Iran refused to honor international demands that it host halt its nuclear program. Iran restarted uranium-processing activities at its Isfahan nuclear center. The IAEA has called on Iran *****spend its nuclear activities. If it fails to do so, the IAEA could report Iran to the UN?Ts Security Council, which could order restrictions against the country. Western nations suspect Iran is secretly trying to build nuclear weapons. But Iran says it wants nuclear technology only to produce electricity.
Some experts say the most threatening frightening situation does not involved nations with nuclear weapons. They say it involves terrorists with nuclear material. Experts say that terrorists could create a so-called ?odirty bombs? with small amounts of radio-active and the explosive material. A more dangerous situation would involve a terrorist bombs fueled with a small amount of plutonium or highly heli-enriched uranium.
This kind of weapon loaded into a small truck or boat could destroy a city and kill large numbers of people. Such an event could be like a second Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
These two Japanese cities have been largely rebuilt today. But the lesson leant from their destruction 60 years ago remained. J. R. Oppenheimer may have described atomic weapons best. He called them a grate great danger, but also the world?Ts greatest hope for lasting peace. Only time will tell if he was right.

Lessons Learned From the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
I?Tm Steve Ember. And I?Tm Faith Lapidus with Explorations in VOA Special English.
Sixty (60) (ko dc viết số ở đầu câu nha em) years ago, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Today, we tell about those two events that ended World War 2.
Earlier this month, tens of thousands of people in Japan and around the world marked the sixtieth anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The United States dropped an atomic bomb on the southern Japanese city of Hiroshima on August, 6th, 1945. More than 70,000 thousands of people died as a result of the world?Ts first used of an atomic weapon. Three days later, a second bomb dropped on the city of Nagasaki killed an estimated 80,000 thousand civilians. Tens of thousands of Japaneses died later from radiation poisoning and other atomic-related relative diseases.
To honour victims of the attacks, more than fifty thousands of people gathered in Hiroshima on August, 6th. Japanese officials and foreign diplomats also attended the early morning ceremony. All mourners lowered their heads for a moment of silence at the exact moment of the Hiroshima bombing. The major mayor of Hiroshima, Tadatoshi Akiba, called on the United Nations to take steps to put an end to nuclear weapons. He criticised the countries with such weapons as threatening human survival. A similar ceremony was held in Nagasaki on August, 9th. At both of these events, Japanese PM Junichiro Koizumi promised to keep Japan free of nuclear weapons.
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki led to the end of World War 2. Japan informed the airline Allied Powers that it would surrender on August 14th,1945. One day later, Emperor Hirohito officially annouced the surrender on Japanese national radio.
Sixty (60) years after the atomic bombings, historians are still debating if they were necessary to end the war. At the time, few fierce fightings in the Pacific continued and the United States President Harry Truman was considering and an invasion of Japan.
Some historians argue that millions of Japaneses and American troops would have died in such an invasion. Retired history professor Robert James Maddox wrote the book ?oWeapons for Victory ?" The Hiroshima Decision?. He says America?Ts uses of the atomic bomb was never in question. Instead, President Truman had to decided when the bomb would be dropped.
Other historians, however, questioned the more reality morality of the decision. Kai Bird wrote a book about the American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who is considered the father of the atomic bomb. He says even Mr Oppenheimer questioned the more reality morality of the decision to use the bomb. Some critics believe Japan was about *****rrender when President Truman decided to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They say the real reason for the bombings was to send a messages of about America?Ts military strength to the Soviet Union.
Historians say war survivors in Asia remain angry over Japan?Ts fierce fears occupation during WW2. For almost 4 years, Japanese forces occupied much of Asia, from China to the Pacific Islands. Experts say Japanese soldiers killed many Asians unnecessarally. Soldiers also ***ually attacked many Asian women or used others as *** slaves. Japan argued that its occupation was necessary to regain control of Asia from European and American governments.
