As I remember my WWII, the Japanese had displayed a great reluctance to surrender on the crappy little rocks they inhabited in the South Pacific. The feeling was there would be a fight to the last man (and woman) if a land assault of Japan were launched It was estimated that over a million Allies(not just Americans) and Japanese defenders would die in a D-day type battle for Japan. The arguement that an Atomic demonstration was the way to go does not hold water as if it didn't work there was not enough enriched uranium to make any more bombs quickly. The choice of killing 160,000(?) Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a horrible but very good choice over killing a million Allies and Japanese.

Wish u have a crappy day

It's obvious that English is not your first language. You really should learn to read it better though before you result to such profanity or rudeness. This is the second time you claim I insulted Taiwan. I never mentioned Taiwan. Learn to read. You have now called me arrogant,patronizing and finally stupid. Now,perhaps you have some local knowledge that you could share rather than just continuing name calling. For example tell me why Iwo Jima is not a crappy little rock. What industries ? Tourism ? Population ? Gifts to humanity ?If you don't agree with something,try and present an arguement that proves the poster wrong. "You're stupid" "You're arogant and patronizing because I'm from Taiwan" and the ever popular "Your stereo is crappy" fall a little short. I won't respond again unless you'd care to present a thought out respons as to why I'm incorrect.
Have a nice day
