Never Forget/Remember the Titans

I think that NBC aired the program on the 50th anniversary almost as a change of pace.  We are always hearing and remembering U.S. events and all of the good and bad things that have happened for and to the U.S.  It is not often that we remember something bad/negative that we have done.  Among the many, there are events that we should probably remember more than we do and they thought (probably rightly) that this should be one of them that should be remembered more.  I thought the way that they showed relived how the dropping was good for the subject.  Since it is highly controversial, they just gave the facts and backed up why the Americans were happy.  This backup is almost a saving of what the U.S. did and why we were so happy, by showing how pivotal these giant bombs were to the U.S. war effort.  Even so, they still do give all of the death tolls making sure that the bad isn't forgotten.

Quick Note: They also show it like historians, and show the affects today and what has been done in Japan to commemorate the event and the consequences of it.
