They *already* knew they couldn't win, though, is the whole point. They knew it, they were trying to negotiate a surrender they could swallow. We didn't give them the chance. Japan wasn't going to pack up and hit Hawaii - or any other US target - again. They didn't have the resources. They barely had the resources to keep fighting on the mainland. *We* could have done better, and we didn't.

Germany was also "trying" to negotiate a surrender during WWI. Guess what? They couldn't agree and so lots more people died. Not just Germans but plenty of French and British and American and troops from the colonies as well.

If Japan KNEW that they couldn't win, then they should have surrendered. But I do think it took the bomb to make them realize that it was entirely hopeless.

Why?

Because otherwise they would have surrendered earlier.

Wait a minute, are you really implying that diplomacy and negotiations weren't an option at all? That dropping TWO bombs was really necessary and that Japan deserved it for not surrendering unconditionally?

Holly shit, non, I haven't been so creeped out by a comment here in awhile.
