Allied casualties were running 7,000 per week. 10 more weeks of fighting would have generated Allied casualties equal to those killed in the Hiroshima bomb. 20 weeks would have equaled the total of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Illuminating. But in the liberal Howard Zinn world the Japanese were peace loving pacifists who were finally provoked into attacking the big bully America because it selfishly would not share the world with such peace loving pacifists. Things like the rape of Nanking are just some much misunderstanding of culture, or excusable. Blame equivalent of George Bush.

Note however that i must respect the Japanese as industrious, etc. .

There is no loss to humanity, as great as the unrecognizable misshapen social contruct of today, in the US culture, on all levels.
