On the Fact that (According to Countless Sources; Walter Trohan, Henry Adams, Harry Elmer Barnes, MacArthur Himself) the Japanese Had Offered a Conditional Surrender In January of 1945 and President Truman Proceeded to Drop Two Atom Bombs On 'Em Anyway

And the saddest part of this whole thing is that the ultimate surrender comprised nearly the identical terms that the Japanese had laid out (allowing the emperor to remain in power being the main one) to begin with. Nice huh? 100,000 murdered for nothin'.
