Strange Famous, please direct us to where exactly you read that Japan was "just days from surrendering."
Oh, and if they were "just days from surrendering," why were they still producing jet fighters in mountain sides? If Japan had stayed in till say, the Spring of 1946 when they had a full fleet of fighter jets capable of being deployed through mountain sides that protected against virtually any attack, well, we'd have a few problems.
Also, with the tooth and nail fighting the marines experienced throughout most of the Pacific theater, how should the USA expect any different when invading Japanese homeland? If anything, it should have been worse than Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, or Okinawa.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
