All the talk about the bombing being necessary because it would have saved lives etc... is only that. Talk without substance. If the bombs were not dropped the US would have invaded Japan at the earliest by the end of 1945, and it was well known that the japanese government wanted to end the war by the time the Potsdam conference was in effect. Truman and Stalin deliberately decided to ignore the Japanese message.
The drop of the 2 bombs effectively ended the war. The reason for using them (propaganda aside, the evergreen motto "to save lives") on the other hand has nothing to do with saving lives. And history, and historical documents show this very clearly.
