Oh, and YOU do, right? Since YOU were there. You don't know how they were treated either. And we never "imprisoned", as you say, Germans or Russians because:

1) Russia was on our side during WWII
2) Neither Russia nor Germany attacked US soil. Japan did. The japanese were crazy: they purposely filled the tanks of their airplanes half-full, so even if they DIDN'T commit suicide, they'd never make it back.

And those innocent ppl could have lived if their own government had surrendered. Sure, there were mixed reports, but in the 10 days, how hard could it have been to fly a plane over Hiroshima and survey the damage? Sure, the FIRST bomb may have been overkill, but they pretty much told us to bomb them the second time.
