THE United States has never formally apologised for dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on August 6 and 9 1945 respectively.
Nor, until May 2016, had a sitting US president ever even visited the city of Hiroshima.
It was president Obama who did so, just seven years after his April 2009 speech in Prague where he had promised that “as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon,” the US had a “commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.”
