It was estimated that it would take the deaths of over one-million US soldiers to take Japan. That figure doesn't include the coutless Japanese lives that would be lost. At the time, the 200,000 (high estimate) lives that were lost because of the two Abombs was a much better alternative. In my opinion, the Abomb was the best possible option to end the war in the quickest, most humane way. Humane - I think the Abomb is much more humane than a practically never-ending ground war of over a million soldiers.
The US did not start the war. I'm sick of seeing people criticizing anything and everything of the United States. I am even sicker because many of us aren't even supportive of the US. At least in the United States, if you don't like it here, you CAN leave.
Democracy is the worst form of government until you've considered all the others.
