Québec libre

The symbolism of a Hiroshima bid is cute, but not enough, IMHO, to convince the IOC. And as Baron said, all the Games are supposed to be the symbol of peace between nations. I would have like to see Osaka or Nagoya chosen, Japanese big cities other than Tokyo. But I think that the Japanese Olympic Committee will put all the chances behind a Japanese bid by choosing Tokyo for their next bid (2020 ?).
