[Short Hand]

Why not drop the bomb outside the city and show the Japenese the power ? They would have surrendered in Days with little loss of life. I was watching a Bio over the history channel the other day... "Victory in The Pacific" or something along that lines, it had color camera film showing a Japenese girl.. no more then 1 year old shaking with pain.... fear.... She had rubble from the blast all over her, Her eyes wide open not really knowing what to do, all alone in a city blasted out...Suffering from radiation sickness.. I can't really figure out why a better way could not have been found....

AND Johnj.. please support this claim of the emperor telling his military council to struggle onward...I have never heard such a claim..even so this claim was made before the visaul of what the bomb could do.
