I'm surprised no one has brought up this travesty.

For those who don't know, the Enola Gay -- beautifully refurbished and now
on display at the new Udvar-Hazy facility of the National Air & Space
Museum -- was damaged by some nut case from Ohio who threw something at the
plane and dented it during a protest against the atomic bombing of Japan.

If it were up to me, a life sentence without hope of parole would be too
good for this jerk. To damage an irreplaceable aircraft, and a piece of
history, is absolutely unconscionable.

Margy, how bad is it?


Would you react the same way if a refurbished Boeing 767 and a model
of the world trade center was on display at the Afghan museum of
history? Although the Hiroshima bombing was necessary to end the war,
it is not something we should be proud of and display at a national
museum.
