Of course the reminder of the impact there and the ongoing risk is nice but is this really a relevant and current choice? Why not last year? Why not ten years ago? What success have they even had? Considering where we are right now. This isn't a group making an impact on the ground anywhere right now. Many of the winners in recent years have been civil & human rights activists in real fights on the ground in their countries/regions. The public will take the reminder but mostly shrug the news off.
This discussion proves the importance. We are so far from properly appreciating the horror of nuclear weapons. One would think that after nearly eighty years Americans would be able to apprehend our crimes against the innocents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with clear vision.
