Enola Gay display angers victims

Survivors of the US attack on Hiroshima have expressed anger at a US
museum's decision to display the plane that dropped an atomic bomb
there in 1945.

The Enola Gay, a restored B-29 bomber from World War Two, is to go on
show at a Washington museum.

But some victims complain the museum dishonours the memory of those
killed by not displaying casualty figures.

About 140,000 Japanese died in the Hiroshima bombing, while many
others died later from radiation poisoning.

'Consistency' argument

Members of action group the Enola Gay Non-violent Action Committee
travelled to the Smithsonian National Air and Space museum on Friday
to deliver a petition calling for the figures to be included.

They asked for photographs showing the devastation caused by the bomb
to be displayed.

Sunao Tsuboi, who still bears the scars he suffered from the bombing,
was only one mile (1.6km) from the epicentre when the bomb was dropped
on 6 August 1945.

"If the Enola Gay is going to be displayed, they should also say what
happened beneath the plane on the day the bomb was dropped," he told
French news agency AFP.

"I was under that cloud."

However the museum's director, retired general John Dailey, has
resisted calls for the death toll to be included.

"We don't do it for other airplanes," he told French agency AFP.
"From a consistency standpoint, we focus on the technical aspects."

Debate

The museum has spent months restoring the B-29 bomber for display in a
giant hangar at its Steven Udvar-Hazy Center, near Dulles
International Airport in Washington DC.

The Enola Gay has proved contentious for the museum before, when in
1995 portions of its fuselage, undercarriage and engines went on
display as part of an exhibition about the atomic bomb, leading to
protests.

Three days after the 1945 Hiroshima bombing, the US dropped another
atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki.

Within days the Japanese officially surrendered and World War II end,
although debate has raged ever since over whether the act hastened the
war's end and saved thousands of lives or was one of the world's worst
war crimes.

Remember: The Bigger the crime (Hiroshima/Nakasaki) or the bigger the
lie (elections 2000 in Florida), the more violently vociferous the
denials and arguments are...

Denial: it's not just a river in Egypt..
