Very surprised that there was no statements/discussion from the Chinese perspective, as the Chinese probably suffered more attrocities at the hands of the Japanese than any other country during WW2.

What surprised me most in school (and same with this article) is how much focus there is on the atomic bombs, when aside from the significance of the decision itself, the destruction/lose of life is eclipsed by US firebombings. Here is a website with nicely compiled/displayed statistics of the 67 Japanese cities the US firebombed and the resulting destruction: http://www.ditext.com/japan/napalm.html
