Don't you read your own links?

"Debate over the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki".
If historians agree, why is there a debate?

No I'm not. He made the statement;
Quote:
Historians agree that the war was going to end by the end of the month.
That is total bullshit. Historians do not agree, and his very own links prove it.
The Wiki link is titled, "The DEBATE....", and goes on to present both sides. Just because he has chosen one side to believe, doesn't make it so, nor does it make his statement, "Historians agree...", any less bullshit.
He then goes on to make further assertions based on that bullshit, which makes them also bullshit.
