So you want to discuss ad infinitum?

Yes they refused, but still dropping a second bomb shorty after the other is not "sving lives" thats "oh we have another lets drop it"

So you rather kill 100000 civilians than let 883 soldiers (USS Indianapolis) die?

Well, I thought a adapt to the usual style of discussion here and repeat arguments until ppl. believe them.
I have giben you a shitload of sources of people you said that Japan would have surrendered without invasion and without the bombe. The sources included american and japanese. You haven't told me why you think that Nimitz, Eisenhower, MacArthur and others had no clue about the situation in the war.

Personally I think everthing is said here, you haven't convinced me and I obviously haven't convinced you.
