Says you. IIRC that there was at least one coup attempt by Imperial Army officers to stop the surrender.

In any case how many Tokyo style firebombing raids do you think would have been mounted before the war actually ended if it had been allowed to run it's course?

You may not like it but those atomic bombs did save lives on both sides.
