I guess it was ranxer that said that the govt committed terrorism with the nukes... well, apparently you have not read a history book or seen anything about the war.
Japan of the 1940s was like the Islamist of today in the fact that they were totally dedicated to the cause. They would have fought us until the last man, woman, and child. If we would have went into a land battle, there would have been probably a million deaths of U.S. soliders (something a few of you probably would have liked...).
When we nuked the first two cities, the emperor had a tape made to play on the Japanese public radio that said that it was time to surrender. There was a revolt by one of the lower generals, i believe (forgive my lack of names, becuase I saw this on the history channel and read it in a book a while back), who wanted to intercept the message, and then give one of his own for all of Japan to fight till the END. If they would have not surrenered, we were prepared to turn Toyko into radioactive glass. Lucky for us that the Japanese Emperor decided that the lives of his people were too valuable to keep fighting a war he knew that he could now never have the ability to win.
And speaking of govt sponsored terrorism, i guess the Boton Death march (i probably spelled that way wrong) that the Japanese had while slaughtering the Chinese innocents left and right doesnt count for much, huh? You don't hear much of Japanese autrocities during WWII because the liberals couldn't compare them to the conservatives of today.
Couple million japanese lives vs at least a million american and then many many more: If that is the case, I'm going with less sushi eaters.
