Washingtonsblog keeps timing out for me so i can't read it. So all I can go off is the url title.
But I was always under the impression the historic line is that the nukes weren't the key catalyst for Japan surrendering. Russia invading Manchuria made the Japanese fear they would be forced to give up their soverignty to Russia. The American firebombing was far worse anyway. The nukes were a nice excuse for everyone and America had to do something with their incredible expenditure.
