"Without the atomic bombings, Japan would have continued fighting by inertia. This would have meant more firebombing of Japanese cities..." So our war criminals had only two choices? The most desirable according to the author, and the one he defends. is the war crime of murdering the entire civilian population of Nagasaki and Hiroshima with WMD (Some estimate the casualties exceeded 100,000--mostly women, children and old men. The reason the author attempts to justify this war crime is because he feels American leaders would have been forced to commit the even more atrocious and deadly war crime of murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians with illegal firebombings of Japanese cities. The logic of this author is a crime in itself. The bombing of Japanese civilians with WMD was a war crime and any attempt to defend this atrocity by misguided patriots only adds to to the crime. We can add to this war crime the fire bombing of Dresden where the allies murdered over 100,000 civilians in a 24hr period by igniting Mg strips to produce a fire bomb. There were horrible atrocities committed on both sides in WWII but only the Germans were forced to face their crimes.
