Supporters of the bombings failed to consider the human and environmental costs, said Dr. Harry Wang, president of the Sacramento Physicians for Social Responsibility. Today, he said, countries with nuclear arsenals are still overlooking the price of warfare.

“It’s a mistaken allocation of our resources,” Wang said. “People need to be reminded and educated about what are the environmental and human costs of nuclear war.”
