You need to brush up on your history. The Japanese were not going to surrender without that final battle.

Wow, you guys must be off kilter today or something.

My point was that we are the only nation to ever use the nuke, no nation on earth can possibly match either our conventional or nuclear strength and again i say Iran is no threat.


What? MAD was based on the USSR's mutual ability to blow up the Planet.

My God that was a stupid statement. If Ike made it, it had to be in an effort to score political points with The Sheeple. Man......I love Ike. Don't mess about unless you have facts. A photo-portrait of that hero hangs over my desk, in my classroom. :no:

"The japanese had, in fact,already sued for peace. The atomic bomb played no decisive part, from a purely military point of view,in the defeat of japan"

I'll let you in on a well known secret, Pino...

The entire world is run by two things: ones and zeros. Everywhere you go, everything you are, everything you do, the entire world you live in is governed by streams of data sent across a near instant global communications network.

I am someone who figured out how those ones and zeros work at a very young age.

A history teacher making extremely bad mistakes? Well, they say the educational system is in the tubes...

Unless you're the polar opposite of the hippie teachers. Same angle, just slammed the other way.

Your attempt to credit Eisenhower with the decision to drop the bombs would lead one to believe that you did not know. You never mention President Truman in your statement. Eisenhower being the Supreme Commander in the European theater likely was aware of what was going to happen, but nothing suggest his support or disapproval.

Dropping the bombs prevented the landings that would have killed many more Americans. The people who sued for peace were "not" recognized by the military powers of Japan. A number of those who sued for peace committed suicide.

Where might I read Admiral Nimitz's comments?
Even if some commanders disagreed with the decision, does not determine that it was the wrong choice. Historians agree that preventing the landings saved more lives than were lost from the bombs. Especially American lives. Who the president had the duty of saving.
Losing Japanese lives in a war that Japan started should surely have been taken into consideration by the Japanese hierarchy as they made their plans for world domination.....?

@g-man,
The real reason we dropped the bomb (even two) was because we didn't want Russia to help us invade japan because then they'd want to occupy Japan afterwards and make it communist as they did with Germany. Also we wanted the world to know the power we possessed.

We dropped the bombs for political reasons not military ones.

Eisenhower,Nimitz and Mcarthur the great american war heroes disagreed with the bombing,these three men were some of the most high ranking offficials in the US military,im not making this up ! they did not think it was necessary to drop the bombs,their opinion is good enough for me !
