And there are today many Japanese who are damned glad the war ended when it did, otherwise they would never have lived to see 1946. I lived in Japan in the 1950s and got to know many of them. Unless you have firsthand information on the subject, the kindest word for your rant would be "revisionist."

I'm sure there are over 100,000 who would disagree with them -- cept they died in the blast.

It's always easy to sacrifice someone else for one's own preservation. That doesn't mean they are right.

Your ancedotal experience does not mean Japan as a whole is thankful for the bomb. And I have not participated in revisionism.
