RE: Annual attempt at correction

history is that it was necessary to drop the atomic bombs to avoid an invasion
of Japan and end the war.
In the atomic bomb
museum in Hiroshima I personally saw the note from the head of the Japanese
military to the emporer, saying "We cannot win this war, but we are prepared to
offer 100 million honorable deaths. It was dated Aug 5, 1945, the day
before the bomb dropped. Based on the fanatical defenses encountered by
our troops on each island between here and the homeland, I see no reason to
conclude "the war was over." The msg from the museum was quite the
opposite.
