TECHNOLOGOS ON HIROSIMA DEFIANT ANTIHERO TIBBITS WHO DIED WITH NO REGRETS

November 2, 2007
VIEW PERSONIFIED WORLD  WAR II CINEMATIC HISTORY SAGA OF OLD A-BOMBER PILOT CAPTAIN PAUL TIBBITS WHO DIED AT AGE 92 http://www.xmail.net/technologos/AAA.htmlS as Memorial to 62th anniversary of tragic nuking Japan cities Hirosima and Nagasaki. Tibbets, a 30-year-old colonel at the time, and his crew of 13 ’Enola Gay’ plane dropped the five-ton "Little Boy" bomb over Hiroshima the morning of Aug. 6, 1945. The blast killed or injured  140,000.
Three days later, the US dropped a second atomic bomb ‘Fat Boy’ on Nagasaki, killing  60,000 people but Tibbets did not fly in that mission. The Japanese surrendered.
Former U.S. Sen. John Glenn, a former Marine fighter pilot turned first US astronaut, said people who criticized Tibbets for piloting the plane that dropped the bomb failed to recognize "It wasn’t his decision. It was a presidential decision, and he was an officer that carried out his duty," Glenn said. "It’s a horrible weapon, but war is pretty horrible, too." While a filmmaker Ken Burns who created a filmepic dedicated to US WWII veterans as true war heroes told on Tibbets’ life "helps to take this incredible, gigantic event and personalize it. This is a real human being who changed the course of the world inexorably on that August morning." Journalist Bob Greene cited Tibbits who said, ‘What they needed was someone who could do this and not flinch — and that was me.’
In WWII as estimated pirished over 60 mln http://www.xmail.net/technologos/AWAR.html as the dictators as Communist Russia Stalin http://www.xmail.net/technologos/Astalin.html and Nazi Germany Hitler http://www.xmail.net/technologos/Ahitler.html  are true culprits of genocide and sacrifice of their own peoples to their dictatorial ambitions and messianinc ideologies.
