Yes, but remember one thing: the people that died when we dropped the atomic bombs were civilians, for the most part uninvolved with the war. Had we invaded, SOLDIERS would have died. I'm not saying we should or should not have bombed them, for I do not know enough about it to have an opinion. Just something to keep in mind.

Not only soldiers would have died. Mass suicide was going on with civilians, as I understand it.Women & children were jumping off cliffs.People hanged themselves. I cant remember exactly why, but I think it was cuz of their religion/beliefs.
