The Japanese didn't kill as many Americans as the Americas killed Japanese.

I agree with you Josh on not spending 5 billion to scare a country, when we can talk with the Japanese over the war and not have to spend money like that.

The US had no idea what the Japanese might do and should have taken the time to think out what EXACLY the US should have done. For example PEACE!!!

I agree with Frank because he made a very great point scaring a person wouldn't for sure scare the Japanese like talking the problem out would.

If peace was the route that America choose to rise above the Japanese lives would be saved. This is for all you 3's you out there

"...in any event to insure the survival of the institution of the emperor, the Japanese might well be willing to withdraw from all the territory they have seized..." (Report from Combined British-American Intelligence committee to the Combined Cheifs to staff, July 8, 1945)

Peace would have put a end to the war, but there isn't anyone who would know because Peace was not a option and Japan was beginning to surrender

Sergio how do you know that the US could have talked this out with the Japan emperor using peace, but peace was not a option due to the fact the US was to quick to the decision!

1. "...which has already rendered millions homeless and has destroyed from 25 to 50 percent of the built-up area of Japans most important cities..."

(Report combined British-American intelligence committee to the combined cheifs of staff July 8,1945)

Dropping the Atomic bomb on Japan killed many people and children who were innocent, but killed any way making the Atomic bomb inhuman and unnecessary.
