"just for the record After the first bomb was dropped Tojo was given the warning to surrender or another bomb would be dropped he chose to ignore this advice so the next one was dropped on Nagasaki with the warning the next would be dropped in down town Tokyo"

"Just for the record that I have uncovered, the Emperor traditionally did not interfere in the day to day running of life, including the war.

It was the Military leaders in the Govt who refused to surrender - not wanting to lose face - in musch the same way the a certain German - dammn! there goes Godwin's Law again - would rather have the entire country reduced to ashes than surrender." - Foolestroupe

Eh Foolestroupe, just for the record Tojo was the leader of the Miltary Junta ruling Japan at that time - The Emperor was Hirohito.

"It's not like Japan was the only country that ever acted like that. We declared war on Spain to get her bases around the world. We destroyed the native Americans to get their land, and I'm sure you know how Great Britain has operated all those years." - Kendall

I certainly am aware of how Great Britain operated throughout all those years Kendall - I don't think that you do. The Government of the UK as a rule generally abided by whatever treaty obligations were agreed - That Kendall is in marked contrast to the Government of the United States of America during the same period - Example, you broke every single treaty ever made with the native American Indians to get their land. The American Government falsified and fabricated causes for war with Spain in order to dispossess her of foreign possessions that the USA wanted for itself.
