A blockade, invasion, the bomb, it was always going to result in casulaties. I guess the poor Japanese were the victims of the stubborness of their own emperor.
Again it's always the common soldier and civilians that suffer for their leader's mistakes as he sleeps comfortably in his/her bed.
But maybe, just maybe you might think that Truman might have ordered a warning bomb, in a desolate area of Japan miminising innocent casualties.
Let me remind you my very British friend, It took 2 Atomic bombs to get the Japanese to surrender.Gaz said:But maybe, just maybe you might think that Truman might have ordered a warning bomb, in a desolate area of Japan miminising innocent casualties.

Harry S. Truman said:It was to spare the Japanese people from utter destruction that the ultimatum of July 26 was issued at Potsdam. Their leaders promptly rejected that ultimatum. If they do not now accept our terms, they may expect a rain of ruin from the air the likes of which has never been seen on this earth.

The estimated death toll of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined is about the same.

The island of Okinawa is only a fraction of the size of the Japanese mainland. Dropping the Bombs ultimately saved both American AND Japanese lives. To argue differently is to admit you can't do math.
The Japanese leadership may have begun considering surrender, but that is far from what their actions were at the time. Kamakaze attacks were devistating and are testament to the Bushido warrior code they lived and died by. The closer we got to Japan, the more fiercely they fought (understandably so, from their point of view).

"""the breakaway Russian republic where Islamic rebels have been fighting for more than a decade for independence."""
Muslims converge and focus on one location/region until it is concentrated enough that they rise up against the soveriegn power and declare independance to set up a Theocratic Islamic State in the area where they dwell.
Its not the 1st time, its not the last, and until the rest of you islamic apologists address this issue, they will contine to try and expand Theocratic Islamic Rule around the world.
But your OKAY with this....
Dumbasses.
