Re: US didn't need to drop the atomic bomb on Japan

The Japanese military was not going to surrender, even after being hit with two atomic bombs. They were going to kidnap and likely kill the Emperor to keep him from surrendering. A few brave men got him to a hideout and ultimately got his surrender message broadcast to the Japanese people. At this point, the military leaders were dead in the water; the people would have revolted had they defied the Emperor's surrender order.

Yes, it was necessary to use atomic bombs against Japan, for humanitarian reasons. It saved millions of lives.
