I don't recall ever reading anything about Japan developing an atom bomb. Well, permit me to help you out there so you'll never have to make that claim again: kimsoft.com vikingphoenix.com And while we're at it, permit me to introduce you to Japan's biological weapons program: www-users.cs.umn.edu fas.org shenware.virtualave.net And how they planned on delivering these biological agents to the US mainland: seanet.com And btw, this silliness about "owing" the Imperial Japanese anything is horse-puckie... We dropped the 2nd bomb because we hadn't heard anything for 5 days from them.. If they couldn't make up their minds to surrender in that period of time, that's their fault. After all, Japan's military government were speculating that the US only had one bomb and were hoping to buy for time. fas.org But the US was planning on invading in November, and they needed to REALLY push Japan to face the inevitability of defeat and to accept unconditional surrender. And the casualites from a US invasion would have been tremendous, on both sides. Big deal that we would "blockade" Japan... Look at the casualties US forces suffered trying to take a few isolated islands... 6,000 dead trying to take Iwo Jima alone... Hawk
