And the American generals would've certainly acquiesced
American generals were shitting their pants at the thought of having to invade Japan. The atomic bomb ( and the Russian invasion of Manchuria) saved them from a bloodbath.
BTW, in Afghanistan we found a bunch who opposed the Taliban and put them in power. Guess what? They turned out to be just as big a bunch of scumbags. The enemy of my enemy is my friend only goes so far.
