Shoichi Nakagawa, a senior Liberal Democratic Party politician has called the U.S. atomic bombing of Japan in 1945 a crime and inexcusable.

Well, Shoichi, it's proving to be valuable to you as a political platform. And it saved lots of Japanese lives by avoiding a hostile invasion, not to mention A-bomb survivors living longer lives with lower cancer rates than their age cohorts.

And it saved lots of Japanese lives by avoiding a hostile invasion...

I don't care about the Japanese lives; it saved countless American lives which would have been lost in an invasion.
