Maybe Not Enough, but Better late Than Never

IT MAY WELL BE that atomically bombing Japan was done in accordance with the teachings and wishes of Jesus Christ, was the right thing for America to do, because it saved tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of American lives, and was America's only real option. No need for Obama to apologize while in Hiroshima; just maybe its a bit late for that anyway. But wasn't the war already over by august, 1945, other than the potential for resistance from millions of Japanese housewives with handguns to an entirely needless American land invasion? The regular Japanese military was completely defeated by August, 1945, or close enough. NO need for further fighting. Just sit the U.S. Navy off the shore, and wait. Get the surrender, then rebuild. No need for no more bombs, by august, 1945. Did the Russian military tell the American military in the summer of 1945 that the Japanese were looking for a way to surrender? Is there a reference to that in Truman's diary? The bomb was dropped to impress and scare the Russians, and hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed. The hard, cold, horrible truth is, it could well be argued that the two bombs were a monumental war crime. To ignore a surrender offer, and to instead drop these atomic, indeed to ignore a surrender offer in order to allow their dropping??? Hello? So it could also be argued that not only should Obama have apologized, Truman should have apologized, then promptly impeached, removed from office, triad, convicted, and imprisoned before New Year's Day, 1946. It could be so argued. Other than all that, Obama said all the right things in Japan 'tother day. Amazing that no previous American president had bothered, until having already left office.
