Mass killing is good for tourism.

Some 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust. Some of those who were responsible were tried at the Nuremberg trials and hanged. Adolf Eichmann managed to escape to Argentina but was tracked down by the Mossad, abducted to Israel and hanged after a trial. The gas chambers of Auschwitz, Dachau and Treblinka have become macabre tourist sites where people reflect on the horrors of Nazi crimes against humanity. Holocaust denial is a crime in several European countries. However, some 7 million people died in the British engineered famine in Bengal in 1943 and countless millions died during the British revenge partition of India but, not only has Britain not borne any responsibility for its crimes, it has argued that British rule was good for India. Our spineless politicians have conspired by continuing to kowtow to white-skinned Britishers. Now the US is about to celebrate one of the sites where bombs for Hiroshima and Nagasaki were created by turning Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee into a tourist park where US citizens will be invited to see how the bombs were created. The Guardian Weekly, 28 September. The Manhattan Project was established in 1942 and Oak Ridge and Los Alamos were built in 1943. The 1.6 km long K-25 building in Oak Ridge was one of the largest in the world during the war. Katy Brown, President of the city's Visitors Bureau thinks that the graphite reactor is an awesome sight. " It's really cool. It's very nostalgic," she said. She would be able to spend an enjoyable day with her family, licking ice cream while the children giggle about stories of Little Boy and Fat Man, as the cute little bombs were called, being dropped on yellow slit-eyed men called Japs. They will listen wide eyed about the initial flash that vapourised everyone within a 10 mile radius and the beautiful mushroom cloud that spread radiation far and wide. That will perhaps make them hungry and they can have pizzas with extra mushroom toppings. Los Alamos has the modest house where Oppenheimer lived. Once these sites are operational the US can work on the places that developed napalm which was used on Korea and Vietnam, dioxin, also called Agent Orange, which was dropped on Vietnam as a defoliant to destroy cover for the Viet Cong, and depleted Uranium which has been used in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dioxin and depleted uranium contaminate water and soil for decades resulting in malformed babies and stillbirths. Sadly they will not be able to develop the offices in Atlanta where officers play video games as they launch those cute little drones firing Hellfire missiles on Taliban. Of course, anyone who is killed, including little babies, are called Taliban else why would they try to stop the missiles with their little bodies. Must be suicide babies protecting the baddies. We should also have such tourist spots. Great help to a bankrupt government.
