> The Japanese government started the war and was free to stop it at any time.
No. The US started the war with economic sanctions. This is a historical fact.
> They could have issued an unconditional surrender and the fighting would have stopped within hours.
They could have. Or the US could have accepted japan's conditional surrender. Just because a government refuses to surrender doesn't justify murdering innocent civilians. Do you think if a criminal refuses to surrender, the cops are justified in murdering the criminal's wife and children?
> All of the deaths in Hiroshima were entirely their responsibility.
No. The responsibility lies on the people who dropped the nukes.
What you and your ilk are doing is using terrorist logic to justify murdering civilians. Murdering civilians because you don't like the actions of a government is terrorist logic. When you share the morality of terrorists, you should reevaluate your moral foundation.
But you prove my point. Evil is alive and well. Justifying genocide and nuking of civilians is evil.
