Zonder, I just happened to be reading a Book on Roosevelt and his espionage rings. At the end of the book, the Author went over Truman's dropping of the bombs. The U.S. Army official estimate of the number of casualties we would take if we invaded, was 800,000. As far as Japan's willingness to surrender, when the Emperor ordered it after the dropping of the two Atomic Bombs, the Japanese had to put down a "Coup" by a group of officers. So you can call it a "War Crime," etc, all you want, that doesn't stop the fact that dropping the Bombs saved an enormous number of American and Japanese lives.
