I couldn't let it pass without notice, after all two WMD were dropped on civilians.
We allowed war madness to grip us once again with protestations of righteousness, setting aside our moral training, in the name of what?

Saved hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of lives in Operation Downfall.

Plus I myself am glad it happened. Japan was taking over all of Asia and my homeland country of the Philippines as well. Thankfully in due course my homeland acquired freedom. |

I've worked with a bunch of the Filipinos, over the years, that came here via the US Navy.

Hmm, it ended a major "conflict really quick" and in the long run "Saved hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of lives..."

Actually, some of the Japanese generals wanted an all-out attack against the US in response to the nukes. And I mean all out, involving every man, woman and child. Hirohito alone put a stop to the war.
There is no lead terrorist who alone can put a stop to terrorist attacks. But there are plenty of terrorist who are like those Japanese generals if a president thinks about bombing Mecca or the like. |

An "all out" attack was not possible and an all out defense was already in place, according to my link.

Why didn't we let Patton have his war on the Russians? I used to know some of the story, but I forget.

I agree - it is NOT a solution to the current situation and would only cause much more harm. The world environment has a totally different landscape than it did 60 plus years ago.
