A great and wonderful book, sensible and sensibly written even though the ending is well known.
Harry Truman, . . .President Truman ended the war decisively with the droppping of the second nuclear bomb on Japan.
This is denied by enemies of America who are still incredulous that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and the Left/Liberals are apoplectic that another nuclear bomb was dropped by America.

There is considerable debate around the number of American’s who would have been killed invading Japan. Estimates range from 20,000 up to 500,000 but the question is why did America fight Japan in the Pacific when it could have defeated the Japanese by simply waiting until the atomic bombs were ready?

It would have saved thousands of Americans as America fought in the Western Pacific for almost five years.

The answer is that Japan would have become far more powerful than it became ao it would have taken more than two atomic bombs and many hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians would have been tortured and murdered by the Japanese if they had been able to operate with impunity. The proof is their murderous ways in the face of the American military which was assisted by many additional nations.

From personal recollections from the time as well as thousands of pages of documentation the Empire of Japan was one of the most barbaric war machines ever loosed on earth. It was good and proper to oppose them militarily. The problem with the first atomic bomb is is simply took too long to develop and use because knowledge had to be acquired before it could be done. President Truman deserves all of the good recognitions that can be heaped on him for saving lives is Japan had continued to propagate the war.

While it would have ended WWII faster if it was completed faster, the atomic bombs couldn’t have happened any other way simply because that’s the way they had to be invented. The laws of physics were hidden and had to be discovered and used for many inventions to get to “Little Man”, an atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945 and when Japan refused to surrender “Little Man”, the first thermonuclear bomb being dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.  

Japan still refused to surrender. It wasn’t until nine days after Hiroshima, August 15, 1945 that Japan surrendered marking the end of their murderous ways that they began in 1931 with their invasion of China. During their occupations of various countries they raped thousands, perhaps millions of women that they jokingly called comfort women.

One of the most egregious of atrocities of WWII is the brutal rapes of uncounted and uncountable women by the Japanese often by several dozen men a day. If the number or rapes per day per woman or young girl (the Japanese raped 4 and 5 year old’s too) is 12 and the Japanese raped 200,000 women from 1931 until 1945 the total number of rapes is over 12 billion.  (200,000 women times 12 rapes per woman per day times 365 days a year times 14 years). If it was 24 rapes per day and some girls were raped far more than 24 times in one day, but if it were 24 per girl per day it’s 24 billion rapes. 

What should have been the penalty for each one of those rapes?
