Despite a lot of publicity, it's amazingly difficult to get access to Sean Malloy's photos of Hiroshima, allegedly not for "the weak of stomach", although the real distinction of this particular horror from the firebombing of Toyko....
...or Dresden....
...is difficult to imagine.
We have this one:
...which doesn't strike me as all that different from horror pictures from napalm attacks...
...or for that matter, white phosphorus in Gaza...
...or Auschwitz...
...or an Afghan wedding party bombed by NATO or the Taliban...
...or The Blitz....
...or 9/11...
...or as some American said after the 1991 attack on Baghdad's Amiriyah bomb shelter...
...all these burned women and children look pretty much the same.
