Brumar, If we'd invaded Japan on the beaches that would have been a crime (for one thing more Japanese would have died). If we'd driven them back to Japan and slapped a blockade on them, that would be a crime (think of the starving children). War is war. WWII was the last total war ever waged. There was good reason to bring it to a quick end. Saved lives or not, no one wanted to prolong that terrible war. Truman of all people knew exactly what the bomb meant. He had his reasons why he used it at the time, and they relate well to his extreme reluctance to use it ever again. Look at the Korean War when MacArthur was itching to nuke China, and Truman had to relieve him of command (due to that and other reasons). Tenchusatsu
