Common misconception that is in put in many school textbooks: The emperor had nothing to do with the surrender. It was that choice of most of the CO's after their families where killed. Even then, there where those who sought to take the pre-made surrender recordings to continue the war (thus forcing the president to drop a third atomic bomb on TOKYO). Go watch the history channel before you post again. Its your kind that are a disgrace to this country.
