Revisionists claim Japan was seeking surrender...

Japan didn't surrender AFTER the first bomb was dropped. It seems very clear to me that Japan had no intentions of surrendering BEFORE the first bomb was dropped.

How do revisionists address the fact that Japan's irresponsible stubbornness (to not surrender) was a direct contributor of the Nagasaki bomb?

Until now, in the war on Islamists, we have never faced a foe like the Japanese. They were ruthless and despised failure or surrender - which is why they treated American POWs that surrendered in the Philippines so harshly. Their commitment to the Emperor and to victory was so maniacal as to be a religious compulsion. We were dealing with a nation that completely ignored Geneva conventions on warfare. If we invaded the island, with every temporary victory by the Japanese, they would believe the propaganda that they still have a chance to reclaim their empire.
