Japan surrendered in the end, and they could have surrenedered earlier. You can't say they wouldn't have. And you can't say that there would have been more or less casualties if the bomb wasn't dropped. Point is that you guys murdered tens of thousands of innocent people that had nothing to do with the war so that you could inflict terror into the hearts of your enemy. Sound familiar?

You are truly deluded, and for want of a better term, downright unfucking-believable.

No, one was an act of war, done for the purposes of putting an early end to it. Period. The other was as you say, a blatant act of murder. Too bad you can't draw the distinction.

Sorry to once again burst your bubble but many of those innocent people as you refer to them were working in factories and in other industries that supported their country's war effort. Guns, munitions, uniforms, food production, whatever, you can bet a good portion was supporting their military in some way. Does it suck those people died? Of course it does. Again, the Japanese knew the risks when they started the war. They paid a heavy penalty, but you sitting there 60-odd years later laying blame on the US is, well, boneheaded.

Could have, but they didn't.

Yes I can, since as I said they were asked several times before the first nuke was dropped to surrender, they refused every time. They were asked after the 1st bomb was dropped, they refused. There is no reason to assume that had the US not dropped the bomb and instead launched a massive attack on Japan itself that the Japs would have surrendered until the last of them fell (along with no doubt several hundred thousand Americans)

See above.
Your demented slant on WWII has now been fully dealt with. I hope you learned something here today moolaboobie.
Cheers.
