A very poorly reasoned piece. - How can "racism" explain US bombing of Japan when the exact same tactics were used against Germany? - The piece has two links supposedly documenting Japanese piece overtures. One goes to no such discussion. (The other gives a brief summary of the Trohan article.) Sloppy. - The question of who spoke for the Japanese government was very real, and made suspect overtures from "high Japanese officials". - "Victory for the Allies was guaranteed by the start of the year" is a remarkable statement. There was little doubt that the Allies would win, but the timing and cost of that victory were very much in question. What happened in Tokyo, Nagasaki, Hiroshima was truly terrible. Arguments that it was unnecessary, and willfully unnecessary, would have to be much stronger than this.
