[quote:Anonymous Coward 1498188:MV8xNTg5NDY4XzI2Mjc1MzQzXzdERkYyMzE5] [quote:SmartestOne] [quote:AlasBabylon] . Nagasaki was known as Japan's Christian city. St. Mary’s Cathedral Nagasaki - after the nuke http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/media/blogs/blog/13/nagasaki_St_Marys_Cath.jpg [/quote] Nagasaki and Hiroshima were the two Japanse cities with the largest population of Christians. Both are on the 33rd parallel. Truman was a 33rd-degree Freemason. Truman was the 33rd POTUS. Yet no American "Christians" -- at least the ones I have encountered -- will connect these dots. Instead they hail Truman as a hero who "ended the war" and wave the flag. [/quote] You can thank the idiocy of the television media and its inability to simply tell the truth for that. [/quote]

An estimated
39,000 people were killed outright by the bombing at Nagasaki
, and a further 25,000 were injured.[4] Thousands more died later from related blast and burn injuries, and hundreds more from radiation illnesses from exposure to the bomb's initial radiation. The bombing raid on Nagasaki had the third highest fatality rate in World War II[5] after the nuclear strike on Hiroshima[6][7][8][9] and the March 9/10 1945 fire bombing raid on Tokyo.[10]
