I have four letters and a 1,200 word essay on this subject but I will go with the letter titled Japanese Intransigence Provoked the Atomic Bombs or Japs and the Atomic Bombs: They Had It Coming

Arriving at VJ day demonstrated the critical role Kokutai played in surrender. Any prominent Japanese lived within an intimate spiritual fabric of Emperor, citizen, land, ancestral spirits, government, and Shinto religion.

Emperor Hirohito, foreseeing the probability of defeat, appointed a Peace Faction to his government in January 1944. However, this cultural imperative commenced a political kabuki through twenty months of continuous defeats, bombings of over 60 cities, and 1.3 million additional Japanese deaths.

The Japanese Privy Council debated the Final Battles arguments into physical and mental exhaustion for eleven hours following the Nagasaki bomb on August 9. For the final meeting Hirohito reluctantly invited Barron Hiranuma, who had fiercely disapproved of the war strategy. Hiranuma maintained the Emperor’s spiritual essence was independent of any imposed government. He reproved Foreign Minister Togo for never making concrete proposals to the Russians, and Minister Anami for accepting limitless nuclear warfare deaths without any opportunity to retaliate. The ministers had no answer, but remained unyielding.

At impasse Hirohito, the god-king, spoke the “Voice of the Crane” in the underground bunker. He would bear the unbearable, conclude the war, and accept government transformation. Only then did Japan contact Swiss and Swedish foreign offices to commence negotiations with allied belligerents.

The atomic bombs removed the Final Battles argument, allowing the War Faction to relent, Hirohito to assume his unprecedented roll, and no one to lose face. Their cabal remained within the fabric of Japanese from all eras who had sacrificed for Emperor and Empire.

Other statements he has made:

He attacked the Church of Scotland in May over a report which suggested that Jews had no divine claim to the land of historic Palestine.

He wrote: "The Church of Scotland? The Calvinist, Presbytarian [sic] Church of Scotland? Why do you think we give a flyin **** what you have to say?"

On July 22, he lambasted the EU's decision to label the military wing of Hizbollah, the Lebanese Shia organisation, as a terrorist group a "half-a****"because it made a distinction with its political wing.

At the start of the Muslim holy festival of Ramadan on July 9, he wrote: "Does the commencement of the fast of the Ramadan mean that Muslims will stop eating each other during the daytime?"

Another post on May 26, referred to comments by Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, that Israel had a duty to return to its pre-1967 borders. "Is there a diplomatic way of saying 'Go **** yourself?'" Mr Seaman wrote.
