And, I'm certain it will be mentioned on shortwave, so keep your radio on. dxAce Michigan USA And let us not forget that the Germans and to a lesser extent the Japanese had some semblance of a program to develop nuclear weapons and that until early 1945 we were fighting two wars on separate sides of the world. The Germans wisely gave in after we slowly ground them down. The Japanese unwisely chose to not give in after we also ground them down. We could not be fighting a land war with the Japanese into the late 1940's while also having to contend with the Soviets. I can understand the public sentiment to not want to lose another U.S. soldier after we had lost so many already in two wars we did not start. For several reasons we had to stop the war quickly and not dillydally around with hopes the japanese might someday come to their senses and give in. |

Radio Japan (was) Hiroshima
Right after World War Two ended, America did help Japan (Europe too)
rebuild, new factories and other things.America sent machinery to Germany and other Countries in Europe (Japan too, I have an old Popular Mechanics or Popular Science magazine here which has an article several pages long about that machinery) which was used for grinding up that old rubble and mixing it in with new concrete. About four years ago, Nissan built a new factory between Jackson and Canton, Mississippi at the I-55 Gluckstadt Exit, about fifteen or twenty miles North of doggy's couch.Nissan, Japan wanted to fly their rice flag over that factory, to be Sure!,,, that rice flag got Voted down! by us Mississippians!) Right now, Toyota is building a new factory near Tupelo, Elvis the Pelvis's old home town. www.devilfinder.com Toyota Mississippi devilfinder.com Nissan Mississippi Here is a good one. www.devilfinder.com MRAP Mississippi (Look for the U.S.Marines link) cuhulin |

Were the bombs not dropped, Japan would not have capitulated and the war would have been prolonged by an obligatory land invasion, where estimates run as high as a million additional dead. That's always been the standard assumption, but would a ground invasion have been needed? I've always wondered why we couldn't just starve them into submission. We could have continued the incendiary and saturation bombing of Japan, continued to bomb their cities, airfields, factories and crops, bombed any ships trying to bring food into Japan. Japan had very little natural resources in general and virtually no petroleum in specific. We CONTROLLED the air and could have starved them into submission without landing a single ground troop. It may have taken a few more months than the milliseconds of the bomb, but do you think it could have worked? |
