    NAGASAKI, Japan - Peace activists hold a sit-in rally at the Peace Memorial Park in Nagasaki on July 2 in protest against remarks Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma made over the weekend that appear to justify the U.S. use of atomic bombs against Japan in World War II. ''I understand the bombing (of Nagasaki) brought the war to its end. I think it was something that couldn't be helped,'' Kyuma said in a speech on June 30. A similar sit-in rally was held in Hiroshima on July 2.
