CIA & 9/11 or Japan's surrender & Hiroshima and Nagasaki (time yet for crisis revisions before tea and cakes and ices)

[Richard Ryan]

1.  I agree with position that conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11
overlook and fail to account for the ludicrous incompetence of the
Bushies.  But clearly they were asleep at the wheel when attack
occurred, and used the attack to their considerable political
advantage.

2.  I disagree that the Soviet entry into the war was the cause of the
Japanese surrender; I have no sympathy with a Japanese nation that
slaughtered and raped its way across Asia in the 1930s and would have
willingly exterminated tens of thousands of Allied troops during an
US-led invasion of Japan.  Having sad that, I also wonder if one or
more atomic bombings of  remote military bases or outposts, rather
than of non-military civilian centers like Hiroshima or Nagasaki,
might not have been equally effective in compelling Japanese
surrender.  It would be interesting to know if this was considered.
