Japan defence chief says US A-bombs ended war

(AFP) - The atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Japan were
the inevitable way to end World War II, preventing the Soviet Union
from invading the Asian country, Japan's defence chief said Saturday.

"I understand the bombings brought the war to its end. I think it was
something that couldn't be helped," Defence Minister Fumio Kyuma said
in a speech at a university east of Tokyo.

Some historians say that the US atomic bombs dropped in August 1945 on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing about 210,000 people, were unnecessary
to make Japan surrender.

But the United States must have thought the atomic bombs "could prompt
Japan's surrender, thus preventing the Soviet Union from declaring war
against Japan," Kyuma said.

"I don't have a grudge against the United States," he added.

His remarks drew immediate protests from victims of the attacks."

That's what the Japanese government has always said, Ranger. Try
reading some average Japanese posts, on Google groups, though! The
average Japanese thinks Harry Truman was a war criminal and the
Americans were worse than they were!

I would have dropped the bomb on Mt Fuji, just to demonstrate we had it.
That would only have blinded a few people.

The problem with my charming pacifist naivete is that we simply weren't
certain the damn thing would explode. It was only the 2nd or 3rd bomb we
ever constructed, and we only had one more. Hence, we had to make sure that
one would be enough, in terms of causing deaths. We couldn't, for example,
make a peaceful demonstration of one bomb, and then when Japan still refused
to surrender we try our last one on a city and discover _it's_ the dud.

The military problem was Japan insisted on fighting to the death. That
tactic, without any military value, ensured that our own troops remained in
serious personal danger long after any actual battle was lost. So, by this
narrow reckoning, we had to bring them death to make them stop.

Even then, the only thing that saved the Japanese from their warlords was
their Emporer saving his own skin by switching sides, then writing his
wartime role out of the history books. Never forget, folks!

Why would any good American who is knowledgable in WWII history (such as The
Colonel) give a rat's ass what a few radical Jap usenet posters would think.
Only an America-hating nitwit like yourself would place any credence in such
nonsense or even bring it up in the first place. And BTW, the "average"
Japanese does NOT think the way your lying post would have us believe, you
inbred moron.

Yup, Empires that LIE, INVADE and MURDER should be TERMINATED using
whatever Mega Bomb is available.
But after loosing our free press, our democracy and our freedom, and
since our rulers have lied, invaded and murdered the innocent people
in the Middle East for the past 59 years, we need to drop the next A-
Bomb on Washington.

Although the OWNERS of america control the media, prices and wages,
there is still a chance to save America :
The communist government in Washington is OUT NUMBERED by 300,000,000
American Slaves.
Educate them and they will remove the Corporate military
dictatorship , restore the constitution, and restore a Democracy in
America.

The TRUTH will save the victims of LIES from the LIARS :

Perhaps the US should've just fire bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It would be pretty silly given that Japan started the war with the
United States. The Mitsubishi plant that converted the torpedoes used in
Pearl Harbor was destroyed in the atomic attacks that ended war.

Is there a victim's group for people who were injured in the fire

Japan's PM Angry Over A-Bomb Comment


By KANA INAGAKI Associated Press Writer

July 01,2007 | TOKYO -- Japan's prime minister sternly reprimanded the
nation's defense minister for saying the atomic bombings of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki were an inevitable way of ending World War II, and asked
him Monday to refrain from making similar remarks.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma to
"strictly refrain from making remarks that cause misunderstanding,"
said chief Cabinet spokesman Yasuhisa Shiozaki.

"It is necessary for Cabinet ministers to pay constant and careful
attention to what they say and do so that they do not cause any public
misunderstanding," Shiozaki said.

Kyuma's comments offended survivors of the bombings who believe the
use of atomic weapons was excessive, but the minister is not expected
to resign.

"I understand he will carry out his responsibility as a Cabinet
minister in consideration of the prime minister's stern warning,"
Shiozaki said.

On Aug. 6, 1945, the U.S. dropped a bomb nicknamed "Little Boy" on
Hiroshima, killing at least 140,000 people in the world's first atomic
bomb attack. Three days later it dropped another atomic bomb, "Fat
Man," on Nagasaki where about 74,000 are estimated to have been
killed.

Japan, which had attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor,
surrendered on Aug. 15, 1945.

"I understand that the bombing ended the war, and I think that it
couldn't be helped," Kyuma said in a speech at a university in Chiba,
just east of Tokyo. Part of the part speech Saturday was aired by
public broadcaster NHK.

Kyuma, who is from Nagasaki, said the bombing caused great suffering
in the city but said he did not resent the U.S. because the bombs
prevented the Soviet Union from entering the war with Japan, according
to Kyodo News agency.

The remarks were quickly criticized by atomic bomb victims.

Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue called the bombings the "indiscriminate
massacre of ordinary citizens" and the opposition Social Democratic
Party called for Kyuma's dismissal.

OK. I would have dropped it at sea.

It was never necessary to drop it at all. The reason why it might not
work -- well, the bombs were prototypes, but the construction was
pretty robust. Once the conventional explosives were detonated the
rest was pretty simple. Few moving parts.

Japan did NOT insist on fighting to the death. They wanted some face-
saving negotiation. We were fixated on "unconditional surrender." We
could have gotten all we wanted by just moving a few words around.
That fixation on Unconditional Surrender, by the way, cost us
thousands of lives in Europe. Read Montgomery's memoires.

Among the "Feds" murdered in OK were kids in daycare. You are one
disgusting lump of festering, maggot-ridden ****. Do us all a favor.

I find your constant desire to find fault with the United States, and your need
to placate or support our enemies to be offensive.

Now that's the Japan we all know, considering their inability still to

They won't admit to that either. Contrast that with Americans who do
admit that their country's greatest leader, George Washington, owned
slaves.

The Japanese Army was insisting that there be no negotiations until
after they had had an opportunity to repel our invasion of southern
Kyushu.

The Japanese Army was also insisting that the terms of surrender
include:

a) No occupation of Japan

b) Japan be in charge of any war crimes trials

c) Japanese soldiers simply pack up and go home without surrendering
or being disarmed.


It was only on August 10 that Japan decided to try to surrender before
we invaded, and to try to surrender "just with a guarantee for the
Emperor". And by that time both A-bombs had been dropped.
