By mid 1946 the only obstacle to invading Japan would have been climbing over the 30 million starved Japanese corpses.

Well, since you put it that way, maybe we should have held off on the bombs.

We did not bomb Tokyo during the night in a sneak attack, I think it was the japs that bombed Pearl Harbor, but that was a long time ago, maybe I'm wrong.

To be fair, it wasn’t “during the night”.

It was around 7 AM.

Now, they LAUNCHED the attack in the night, yes, but the bombs and strafing was during the wake-up morning time. (or for the military folks, about lunchtime, lol)
