		Akiba, who became the new Hiroshima mayor in February, told a luncheon meeting of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan that the voices of A-bomb survivors succeeded in reaching key decision-makers, thus blocking a third nuclear catastrophe from occurring.
		Akiba, a former House of Representatives member of the Social Democratic Party, criticized the Japanese government's failure to clearly express its antinuclear stance, stressing that strong political will is needed to achieve a nuclear-free world.
		Akiba defended movements by A-bomb victims emphasizing the tragedy of nuclear weapons, and insisted that such victims should not be blamed for failing to advance nuclear disarmament, saying that nuclear powers still clinging to weapons of mass destruction are to blame.

	Asia Times -
		According to Akiba, the world has become sufficiently inured to the horrors of nuclear weapons as to change its justification for the building up and maintenance of nuclear stockpiles, from one of "deterrence" to one of talking in terms of "usable nuclear weapons" and "pre-emptive options".
		On his tour of the sub-continent, Akiba is carrying with him a message for the leaders of India and Pakistan, urging them to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki and "see with their own eyes what nuclear weapons have in store for humanity".
		Akiba said he could not understand how the leaders of Pakistan and India could consider their nuclear weapons as guarantors of peace.

	Interview with Tadatoshi Akiba \| MetaFilter
		A fascinating interview with Dr. Tadatoshi Akiba, mayor of Hiroshima and president of Mayors for Peace.
		Akiba is New York for the UN conference on the Nuclear Nonproliferation treaty, and he took the time for some eloquent straight talk about the nuclear weapons and international politics.
		When the host points out that that view is not shared by the current administration, Dr. Akiba puzzles over the curiosity that the United States, the model of democracy for the world, has such a discrepancy of viewpoints between our population and our elected officials on such a crucial matter.

	Hiroshima's Lessons
		He suggested that the administration's post-Sept. 11 policies were misguided and called for a worldwide ban on weapons of mass destruction in remarks delivered on the 57th anniversary of the atomic bomb being unleashed on the city he governs.
		During last year's ceremony, Akiba noted in his Peace Declaration that the "calendar end to the 'century of war' has not automatically ushered in a century of peace and humanity." To help bring about that change, Akiba and the citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki hosted the World Conference of Mayors for Peace.
		Akiba's fears are not groundless, as Bush's dismissal of our commitment to the ABM Treaty and his interest in militarizing space with the Stars Wars program prove.

		TADATOSHI AKIBA: Well, the United States still has the most numerous number of nuclear weapons, missiles and so forth, technological capabilities far superior to anything else, and as the leader in the international arena, I think the United States should take the initiative in eliminating nuclear weapons.
		TADATOSHI AKIBA: Well, that question has been settled by the research of American historians a long time ago, and also there has been a study by the Strategic Bombing Survey, that entered Japan right after the end of war in 1945, and their findings clearly tell you that that’s false.
