I'm not at all pleased with the ending to this fic, but as I see
it it's the only ending it could possibly have.  The pundits are still
wrangling over 1945 today, and no matter how smart Ami-chan is, I can't
expect her to answer that question in a couple paragraphs.

Ami thought about it, and then sighed, "Because they'd stopped thinking
of the people on the other side as people, and just thought of them 
as...droids"
