One of the things that was noted this week, although I'm not sure it was noted here, was the 50th Anniversary of the hydrogen bomb testing at Bikini Atoll.
Whatever one might call it as far as a scientific achievement, it was not one of the U.S.'s better moments in the treatment of people. Folks lived within the fallout zone, and have been spending that last 50 years suffering, or worrying, about cancers; being forcibly moved in some cases because of the fallout; and basically being treated as collateral damage.
The people of the Marshall Islands have received some restitution from the United States, but in their eyes it was not enough.
kaleo.org has an article about a submission in 2001 for further funding - which has fallen on deaf ears from the U.S. Government.
Frankly, I don't know the merits or lack of in this request for additional funding, but I think it deserves public debate. I hope it comes up during the campaign, because the issue is greater than just the Marshall Islands, or nuclear testing - it's the responsibility of nations to accurately prepare before committing to any destructive actions that may impact civilians, and to honestly apprise those civilians of risks within those preparations... and to pay the costs if nations fail to do so.
