AhhhhSo you would have chosen to let 2,000,000 die to salve your conscience.Even though more than 300,000 civilians would have died during the decimation required on a house by house level of ground invasion...... or would you prefer to be even more intellectually dishonest and now state that you would have blockaded the Japanese home islands?Problem is you then have to choose to continually bomb the Japanese and destroy ALL means of self-sufficiency - which kills even more civilians ...Or maintain a blockade of attrition that would have taken decades to play out, been ruinous to both sides and, in the best of circumstances, caused even more people to die.Moral cowardice, a la Neville Chamberlain, was one of the reasons millions of people died in World War II.It lives on today in people like yourself ... committed to your ideology no matter how despicable it proves in the long run.barliman
