That...or drag the war on for years and years. All you have to do is the look at the often suicidal determination of the Japanese and the outcome becomes obvious. Hell...they wouldn't have dropped the second one on Nagasaki if Japan had taken come to their senses after Hiroshima. Basically just the better of two horribly shitty choices. And who knows...maybe ending the war earlier saved more lives than the bombs took.
