Was the Emperor ready to surrender? Absolutely not, even after the Potsdam Declaration in July of 45, the Emperor decided it would not capitulate. When they refused to surrender the bombs were dropped. Finally, shortly after the second bomb drop, on Aug 15, 1945 Emperor Hirohito then surrendered.The reason for this was FDR's murderous unconditional surrender policy.
And besides, do you think civilians deserve destruction because their emperor is nuts?
