They still wanted to fight to the end.<BR/><BR/>Some officers even plotted to kidnap the Emperor and steal the recording he made to the people to surrender.

Yet the threat is not even identified in the public arena! Instead, we drift down De Nial while the danger seems to increase exponentially day after day. For Hiroshima it took 4 years of total war, hundreds of thousands of dead Americans, and a choice that had come down to firebombing cities followed by land invasion resulting in a death toll perhaps in the millions and killing a couple hundred thousand of the enemy with a single bomb. Make that two bombs; the first one failed to convince them. That was in 1945. What will be the equivalent in the first decades of the 21st century?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
