US use of nuclear weapons, crying shame: Analyst (Video) -Ploughshares

Beregin: The American people are, more and more, making their voices heard againstBush and his warrior clones. Bush and his minions slip out of control, determined to go to war, determined to go it alone, determined to endanger the Palestinians further, determined to control Iraqi oil, determined to ravage further a suffering people and their shattered society. The American people can stop Bush, can yank his feet closer to the fire, can banish the war makers from Washington D.C., can turn this society around and restore it to faith and sanity. 
 
Obuszewksi: Absolutely. The Obama administration has asked for USD 585 billion to upgrade the nuclear arsenal. It is a crying shame. The dangers are evident. The radiation is poisoning.
 
Obuszewksi: Well, it is our government officials. It is our military. Your listeners should know this. December 19th, 1999, four peace activists went to a military base outside of Baltimore to disarm helicopters which fired depleted uranium. This was Philip Berrigan and three of his colleagues. Philip Berrigan is now dead. He was the founder of the Plowshares Movement but they recognized, far back, the dangers of depleted uranium.

Japan marks the 67th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima by the US, the first-ever case of the use of the bomb against human beings, which resulted in the death of tens of thousands of people.

Tens of thousands of people, including the survivors, victims’ relatives, and government officials attended the annual ceremony at Hiroshima Peace Memorial, commonly called the Atomic Bomb Dome, on Monday. 

Hiroshima was devastated on August 6, 1945 after the US B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on the city, killing an estimated 140,000 people instantly or gradually from radiation sickness and cancers. Three days later, another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing more than 70,000. 

Press TV has conducted an interview with Max Obuszewksi, peace activist from Baltimore, to further discuss the issue. 

The video also offers the opinions of two other guests: senior editor of Veterans Today (VT) website, Gordon Duff and Vietnamese-American political analyst and writer, Linh Dinh. 

The following is a rough transcription of the interview. (And link to the video)
