It is really unclear whether we would have invaded Japan.


Too whom?

You??

why wouldn't one nuclear blast have been enough?

ask the Japanese

Why two?

because it was apparent there wasn't going to be a response from them.

It seems like you are implying that because the Japanese soldiers committed so many atrocities, their civilians deserved to die in a nuclear holocaust

Once again...i have not implied that.

..and once you again accuse me of a position i do not have.

"We could have simply isolated Japan--they were not doing very well at that point."

It is surprising that our leaders never thought of that.

Do you think the 200,000 POWS held captive in Japan, many on the verge of death by starvation, would of thought it a good idea? How about their families back in the USA?

I'm sorry to jump in here with sarcasm, Grainne, but you have to admit you certainly asked for it.
