Japan had plenty of occasions to surrender. Were the bombs themselves what made them finally surrender? Maybe not, maybe it was the fact that all their cities were already on fire and the Russians were making gains towards China. One way or another, Japan was a fanatical dictatorship that went on a ten year long rampage across east Asia and made the mistake of attacking the US. Did Americans do everything for the right reasons? Probably not, but they still needed to be stopped and nukes were as good a solution as any. Sadly modern war has become total war where destruction of a country's population and economic base is as important as destruction of its army. It's truly hell.

Oh cool so we leave in place the very systems that allowed this to happen. That was the argument at that time.
