166. Completely and utterly wrong

Clearly you have no idea what I knew before this discussion. I knew all about Yalta (who doesn't), all about the Soviets, etc. Your knowledge base is not especially daunting.

As for ending the war, Truman did. As POLITICAL leader of the nation, he sized up both the military and internal/external political realities and made a choice. America didn't begin the war with Japan, but it sure as hell ended it. Perhaps, rather than critique Truman for his actions, you might analyze what led Japan to attack Pearl Harbor rather than seek a peaceful solution.
