72 years ago today, the United States used the world's first ever nuclear weapon. The "Enola Gay" gave birth to her "little boy" in the skies above Hiroshima, in what could be described as the anti-Nativity. Meanwhile, 72 years later, we build and stockpile more "little boys" and "fat men." Write a letter to the editor: We don't want another nuclear catastrophe.
As the people of Hiroshima teach us and Wendell Berry wrote, we must "practice resurrection."
