THIS refers to the news `Obama pays tribute to Hiroshima victims` (May 28). According to the news, President Obama paid moving tributes to the victims of the first atomic bomb, offering a comforting embrace to a tearful man who survived the devastating attack on Hiroshima. It was 15:15 local time in Japan when the first atomic bomb`Little Boy` was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, which resulted in the immediate death of 140,000 people, while injuring thousands of others.

Let`s salute the courage of President Obama for showing the importance of peace and love for humanity; the citizens of the US have time and again showed thatwhatever happened in the past they felt sorry for tragic deaths and devastation.

What a show of greatness by the president ofagreatcountry! A. Agil Lahore
