The Momentum of Martial Logic

Although the issue remains controversial it is important to consider the historical background given here for the decision to drop the bomb. After the account here it is impossible to take conventional wisdom for granted here. 'What might have been' has been rendered implausible by a series of mental images of the 'fanatic homeland defense' scenario, which was never tested and under suspicion of being wrong. Indeed, the available facts show that diplomats at the time expected Japanese surrender without the atomic option. To say nothing of the reservations of the scientists involved. If Admiral Leahy and Eisenhower saw fit to break ranks here in the years after the war, we can be sure something is awry here. This book amply shows the what's what. Very important case, and the manipulation of the 'myth' is as upsetting as the details of the emergence of the decision.

Missing an important point.

The dropping of the atomic bombs were absolutely neccessary. I am not saying it was right, but the USA simply had no choice. The victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were victims of their own leaders who led their nation into war by invading Asia and attacking Pearl Harbor. USA already warned the emperor but even after one atomic bomb, he remained obdurnate. Through the Japan's warfare, and about their way of fighting, the Japanese would fight to the last blood drop. If the bombs were not dropped, even more would be killed. Japan would have fought until the entire nation of Japan would be extinct. More Americans, Japanese and other Asians would be killed if the bombes were not dropped. The bombs brought Japan out from their obsession over nationalism. To sum my point, the Atomic bombs were wrong, but it achieved a great purpose: Stopping the war quickly.

Please don't think I hate Japanese. I just despise their history during WW2. I feel sorry for all of the victims of WW2 on all sides, both soldiers and civilians alike. And I hope there will never be another war that would require nuclear weapons or other mass destruction.
