If they hadn't started it we wouldn't have had to use nuclear weapons to end it.

i thought we used atomic weapons not nuclear weapons. Besides it's pronounced nucular any way.

None of the still-living victims of the nukes had anything whatsoever to do with making any decisions to go to war.

These people are simply bearing witness ~

These people are just trying to gain some mileage toward their personal political agendas. The Japanese really know deep down inside their hearts of hearts that had the U.S. not dropped the two bombs, the U.S. consequently would have had to invade. As a result, the Japanese would have suffered millions of casualities. Also, the Soviets would have declared war on the Japanese and would have participated in the invasion which would have led to a partition of Japan after the war between the Soviets and the U.S. So, the best outcome that the Japanese could have hoped for was the one that came about as a result of Truman having the courage to drop Little Bob and Fat Man.

Saying the people protesting started the War is like saying that You has a slave or exterminated the Indians.
