Did we kill enough Japs to stop the Nipponese Empire?
Whut’s the Nipponese Empire? They ain’t from around here are
they?
Killing Japs didn’t end the war. Tens of thousands more were killed by B-29’s dropping conventional bombs & incendiaries than at Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Even after BOTH atomic bombings the imperial warlords were ready to commit the entire population to suicidal resistance in a final invasion of the home islands.
Hate to say it, but it was Hirohito who finally said “Enough” and browbeat his imperial council into accepting the Potsdam accords. And some hotheads tried to kill him for that.
But when Hirohito’s voice was heard for the first time ever by most Japanese, telling them that the game was up, the fight went out of the entire country like a giant leaking gasbag. The Emperor’s word was law.
The Japanese have proven to be normal human beings ever since.
Can’t say that about Muslims. OBTW, check out why Japan has no Muslim problem to speak of. Yes, being a racially & culturally homogeneous island nation does seem to help.
