Lessons from Hiroshima, 60 Years Later - by Walter Cronkite

Walter Cronkite says it all...

The survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki – the hibakusha – have continually warned, "Nuclear weapons and human beings cannot coexist." In the end, I believe this is the most important lesson of Hiroshima. We must eliminate nuclear weapons before they eliminate us.
