Today's Blasphemy On November 1, 2007, 92-year-old Paul Hibbetts, the American pilot who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, passed away from Hanula Gay. He wrote no memoirs, but left some quotes in history. "I am proud that I was able, starting from nothing, to plan an operation and execute it as flawlessly as I did. " "If you put me in that situation, then hell yeah, I'd do it again. "I decided that the morality of dropping the bomb is none of my business." I was assigned a military mission. I don't care if you drop atomic bombs, 100 pound bombs or shoot a rifle. You have to put the moral question aside. " "We had feelings, but we had to put them aside. "We knew it would kill people left and right. "I sleep soundly every night. "Forty years before Tibbits, his mother, Enola Gay, died. Does the name ring a bell? Yes, that's what her sentimental son named the strategic bomber on the 29th that killed 150,000 Japanese civilians. Enolas' parents were also sentimental, naming their daughter after the heroine of the 19th-century tearjerker novel "Enola, or Her Fatal Mistake." "Neither Emma nor Paul saw the tragedy of August 6, 1945 as a fatal mistake. His mother, immortalized in history, remained proud all her life of her sons' heroism, dropping a 13-kiloton nuclear monster on humanity. What a fatal mistake could it be if the bomb itself were smilingly referred to as "little boy"? Mother and baby - two symbols of life -. Americans have become synonymous with death. Do you think anything has changed in America since then, and that the Shanoles of today, if it happened again, would condemn their Tibetans?
