Do not obscure reason for atomic bombing

For the purpose of seeing first-hand the devastating potential of nuclear weapons, the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the places to go.

And it would be perfectly fitting for the parties to the United Nations Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to make a case for their cause and reiterate a shared commitment to peace in these cities on the 70th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bombs on them.

That is why the Japanese endeavor to push for world leaders to commemorate the anniversaries appears logical and beyond reproach.
