Ted, > Why did we nuke two of their cities?

Ask any non-Japanese Asian, especially in China and Korea.

The vast majority will tell you that Japan deserved to be nuked.

"Wouldn't one city have made the statement we were trying to make?"

We weren't making a statement. We were forcing a surrender to us and not the Soviets. One didn't do it. Two did.

Maybe. Who knows what would have happened if we had only nuked one? Or not nuked a city at all, but say, an island off of Tokyo.
