Yes.
It's been at least a dozen years since I went to Nagasaki, and I am still moved to tears by what the American government did in the name of war to that city, but more so by the humanity expressed by the leaders in Japan who set up the memorial with the hope that this would never happen again. Being appreciative of water myself, it's simply amazing how powerful the symbolism of water thru-out the Nagasaki memorial is to the idea of the burning, suffering death so many experienced after the initial blast.
It is my sincere hope that both the Western world, and the "terrorist" that are so vehemently opposed to the Western culture can come to peaceful coexistence with no further bloodshed on either side (however naïve such a wish may be) Even a I write this, I see my western bias, but I have no ill will towards those whom the gobmint says are my enemy.
