What countries did we take over in the 1930's and 1940's? What did we do with Western Europe after the war? How many minorities did we execute? What Americans were killed for mere dissent? There is no comparison.

We wanted surrender without conditions because we had to change the government of Japan. They were a major threat to the rest of the world. Should we have accepted Japan's conditions so that they could turn around and try to take over Asia again?

How do you suggest we should have handled Germany and Japan after they had gotten really far with their conquests?
