What would that achieve? (The first part)

  The show that war sucks and every country powerful enough to show it has an ugly side.

  To put some perspective on the notion that US evil >> JP evil for using the nuclear bomb. In school (in Europe) I remember being taught how horrible the two bombs were and that it was somewhat good that the war was put to en end, but with much more stress on the former. I was never taught about the atrocities committed by the Japanese.

    They teach that primarily in US schools, too. I was lucky: my teacher was fascinated in things high schools don't usually teach, and he showed us a lot of great stuff, including some of the stories about the Japanese. I think that we should show photos of Nagasaki. Hiroshima, it could be argued, was necessary to end the war quickly and effectively. Nagasaki was more morally grey: chances are, Japan would have surrendered without it.
