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.


If those models(?) were at an Afghan museum, that would be fine by me.

I'd like to see the exhibit room set up as a 25 year timeline. The beginning
part of the timeline would start as a wide line on the floor, then it would
go up the wall, cuts across the corner of the ceiling, then comes back down
a different wall, and back onto the floor - stopping (painted like an giant
arrow) in front of a door marked, "Tomorrow in Afghanistan." Something fun
like that for the kids. :-)

If museums should only display things of national pride, where do we put the
Civil Rights exhibit from the Birmingham Alabama museum? How about American
Indian
artifacts and history? I say we leave out all references to Indians from
about ...maybe ...1825 on.

The Enola Gay is history. Sputnik is history. Lindbergh's plane is history.
A Jap Zero is history, An Me-262 is history.
