I hope you don't actually believe 10-15 million people were going to commit suicide. That's insane.
I guess anything to defend America though.

You don't have a strong grasp on sociological theory. If a government can convince an entire country of an imaginary racial superiority and have the willingly murder 6 million innocent human beings, you can make them do anything. The propaganda and indoctrination techniques used by these governments from birth are much more powerful the you're giving them credit for. I have no doubt in my mind that 10-15 million people would have commmited suicide in Japan due to the collective mind set and honour system which was, and to some extent still is in place.
