Regardless of whether it was intentional or not - the by-product was that the genocide was stopped. Which in retrospect made the war justified.

yeah. the USA would be speaking japanise for one thing and Japan would have jained control over the nukes of the US. good call.

Dulcet et decorum est ore patria mori
