I started to, but I didnt want to limit it to just that.

well if you didn't want to, then why did you say that that's what you meant just now, if you decided to take it back?

Depends on one's POV. What would have happened with WWII if the bomb hadn't been dropped?

I am sure I forgot some, feel free to tell me which.

Is that in order?

Hmm, I guess mine would be World War 2 with the Holocaust and Hiroshima/Nagasaki/Other Bombings, World War 1, Communist Genocides (Mao and Stalin...), The Inquisition/Witch Trials/Crusades and other atrocities of Catholicism or Religion in general and finally Michael Jackson's death.

MJ's life was probably a far greater tragedy than his death. He made great music, but he never really had a life, from being beaten on stage by his father during childhood, because his father wanted his son to succeed wher ehe had failed, to becoming the gossip-press' plaything etc. His life could really be used to show how sick mankind has become, in a way.

Also, I get that you were probably joking about his death being one of the worst tragedies befallen on mankind.

9/11 is worse than slavery, religous genocide and Darfur?

They would have surrendered.

Generally, that's considered what would've happened. I believe that the terms and conditions offered up by Japan were that they no longer wanted their country occupied, right?

I could be wrong but I believe that was the only condition, and it was ignored.
