I'm not crediting the emperor with anything...
You used Japan as an object lesson to what we should do in Iraq.
There are a few of us on this thread trying to tell you that your understanding of what happen in Japan is not true.
We are also trying to tell you that without the emperor, the military would have kept fighting.
And this statement: with only a few months pause we could've continued producing nuclear weapons en masse. is probably the silliest thing I've read today.
