re: #124 klys

Have you done much reading about WWII from the Japanese perspective? Society was not as monolithic as you might think, despite the writings of the leaders.

I am not saying that the decision to use the bomb was the wrong choice. I am merely saying that to continue to view it through the lens of only Allied lives - versus the lives on both sides of the conflict - rubs me the wrong way.

In the long run, it probably saved hundred of thousands of Japanese lives as well.
