Professor Hanson has to write articles like this in order to remind Americans, especially those that never really learned history or read books but MAYBE see historical Hollywood films about events that there was a very serious and real reason why America had to finish the Japanese off.
Thank you Professor Hanson for clearing stating what we should all know about and defend.

IIRC Harry Truman was handed the following estimates of invasion combatant casualties before making the decision to drop the bombs:

US: 2,000,000
Japan: 6,000,000

I suspect the civilian casualties would have exceeded 20,000,000 due to starvation and disease. He saved a lot of Japanese from death.
