The fact remains that Japan had refused surrender, which meant either the bomb or a full-scale invasion of Japan and continued battles in other places (Even after the war was over, there were still several holdouts. Sound familiar?) which would have meant American lives would have been needlessly lost had not the bomb been dropped.

Therefore, I did not "switch up the operation of the argument" or whatever you're talking about. The argument still stands, and is no doubt true. The saving of American lives was all I'm worried about. Fuck the Japanese, at least in regards to that war. It was not Truman's or any other American's responsibility to minimize Japanese lives at the expense of American ones.
