What was the president's reason to bomb japan?
To scare the Russians; Hiroshima and Nagasaki were in fact harmless targets. My Japanese friends told me the towns never even produced soldiers that saw combat duty, mostly laborer types. What makes the Japanese angry, is that the U.S bombed harmless cities, for the sake of a political demonstration. Of course the story was "so that 1 million American soldier's lives, and 2 million Japanese won't be sacrificed."
Why was it unecessary to bombard Japan in 1945?
Japan had a policy of Never Surrender No Matter what. It was necessary first to burn Japan cities from the air, and then to drop 2 atomic bombs in order to force Japan to surrender. If Japan had been invaded in November 1945, it probably would have cost 1 Million Allied lives, and 2 Million Japanese lives! Bombing Japan and getting them to surrender saved far more lives than it killed.
