Why do you believe he was responsible? And do you think he should have been blamed more then Tojo

>>2575601
there is no way he didn't know of the shit that the army did, he could have stopped Tojo anytime he wanted.
If Tojo sperged out and tried to do a coup d'etat or something similar the people would had chimped out anywyas

No. Punishing war criminals is just some bread and circuses propaganda. He was more useful alive and if we executed him there was no way we'd keep Japan as an ally in the East in the future.

Yes, if only so America in the occupation could have heavily pushed christians or buddhist philosophy over Shinto downplaying the emperors death and circumventing the vacuum of faith that led to Aum Shinrikyo
tl;dr
Hang him, bang his wife, claim the Imperial line for Christendom
