Rosie in her question asked if Japan forgave the U.S as if it is the equivalent of Jews forgiving Germans. Many of my questions are inspired by questions from other members. I don't know why we need forgiveness from the Japanese but maybe you do.

The concept of collective, national forgiveness is specious and probably most often offered as a political expedience. How can a leader of a nation on behalf of that nation apologize to another nation?
I was posting that as you posted your reply above. Neither your posted question nor the reply I resonded to mentioned Rosie's question. My point stands on its own.
As does mine along with my replies and questions from other members. Your reply is to a response that asks a question that is answered in a reply. The reply links the question to another question asked that begins the thread.

I doubt you'll find anyone here disagreeing with it, but it was not on the table when I made my reply.
I am editing to reply to your edit. Your reply above was not yet posted when I hit the reply button to compose my post. I had no idea this had anything to do with RRosie's question.

I don't, given that nearly every major country was trying to develop it and use it against their enemy. I we did not not we would likely have lost the war. Also there would have been much more casualties on both sides with an invasion.
