In the Obama mind, we must have been at fault for provoking Pearl Harbor by putting our war ships in the Pacific Ocean.

The Obama Narrative Goes to Hiroshima

                 By Claudia Rosett May 30, 2016

This past Friday, President Obama became the first sitting American president to visit Hiroshima. There, in that solemn setting, he delivered a speech so grandiose, so full of sophistries, so stuffed with America-denigrating baloney, that on those grounds alone it ought to qualify as historic -- except in essence he's said it all before. I don't know if White House Boy Wonder Ben Rhodes wrote this particular riff on the The Narrative. But if he did not, we may safely assume that Obama has found another speechwriter who is a perfect replica.

No, Obama did not explicitly apologize for America's dropping of the atomic bomb. Rather, he worked around to it by implication, stripping the act of almost all historical context, lumping together all civilizations and nations, and all wars -- whatever the reasons -- in one big stew, and urging, as his solution for the planet (imperfect America included), a "moral revolution" of which he evidently considers himself the prophet.

How humanity might achieve this moral revolution, Obama did not clarify. (I doubt that Moscow, Beijing, Tehran or Pyongyang were chastened by Obama's urging that "we must reimagine our connection to one another as members of one human race."). Neither did he mention that in the 71 years since America used atomic bombs to end World War II, it has never used them again, and with America standing as guardian of the free world, neither has anyone else -- though with Obama's shrinking of the American military, apology tours for America's past, snubbing of America's allies and favors to America's enemies, the chances of nuclear war are again on the rise.
