Before and after Hiroshima. They didn't surrender until Hirohito thought the next one after Nagasaki would hit Tokyo.

And keep in mind; the Soviets invaded Manchuria the day before Nagasaki. They just got hit at Hiroshima, the Soviets invaded them, and hundreds of thousands have been killed, yet they didn't surrender?

But yet it's "our" fault that those bombs were dropped. Right.

This wasn't some political move. You don't have over 100,000 Americans lose their lives in the Pacific to Japanese hands and then expect Americans to be killed going into Japan. The only negotiation is unconditional surrender.

Now, go stand in a corner and grow some shame." -
