All of that has already been demolished. Truman pretended that we couldn't listen to a peace offer that allowed the emperor to stay. But, of course, we kept the emperor on his throne after the war. <<< General Douglas MacArthur, convinced that retaining the emperor was vital to an orderly transition to peace, was appalled at the demand for unconditional surrender. Admiral William Leahy concurred. Refusal to keep the emperor "would result only in making the Japanese desperate and thereby increase our casualty lists," he argued, adding that a nearly defeated Japan might stop fighting if unconditional surrender were dropped as a demand. >>> -------------------------------------------------- Was the emperor was a puppet of the military? <<< This is an argument that not even the American policymakers of the time placed weight upon because they knew it was false. >>> thirdworldtraveler.com Tom
