President Barak Obama visited Hiroshima Peace Memorial on 27 May 2916. He did not apologize for dropping Little Boy on Hiroshima and Fat Boy on 6 August 1945 and 9 August 1945, respectively. More than 200,000 people were killed by these two atomic bombs.
Although politic outshines emotion, President Obama calls for concerted efforts in making the world without nuclear weapons. He ends his speech by saying: "That is a future we can choose. A future in which Hiroshima and Nagasaki are known not as the dawn of atomic warfare, but as the start of our own moral awakening [sic.]"
