The Atomic Bomb saved lives on both sides of the war. If the US and its allies actually invaded Japan, I wonder if that nation would actually exist today. The Japanese were massing their forces in a hopeless attempt to repel the allied assault and the entire population was mobilized to fight behind "every blade of grass".
It would have been a bloodbath from hell and I think we'd probably have come close to wiping out the entire Japanese race. Everything I've read indicates that the resistance would have been so fanatical that we wouldn't have had any other choice. As horrific as the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima was, it DID save lives on both sides.
