I am sure this was right after Japan apologized for Pearl Harbor, the Bataan Death March, Cabanatuan, etc., etc., etc., no?

Are we going to apologize for all those maybe a million Japanese lives that were saved when Hiroshima and Nagagsaki were hit?

No one knows how many Americans would have died in the invasion. It says right here that many more than 200,000 Japanese would have died in the same invasion.

Obama can’t be THAT stupid, can he?

Can he?

If he is stupid enough to have an American ambassador apologize for Hiroshima, he’s toast.

Palin will tap dance all over him.

Best,

They also fail to take into account that Russia had commited to a date to invade Japan from the north.

Had Russia invaded from the north, and the USA from the south the result would have been much like Germany’s: split in half (with one part dominated by the Soviets), and the country devestated from end to end by war.

The bomb was horrible, but the fact is Japan would have suffered more from a conventional invasion by the USA & Soviets then it did from a nuclear attack (as hard as that may be to grasp).
