its also worth pointing out that Japan did not surrender after the first bomb. Japan only surrendered after the second bomb because Russia was getting ready to invade them as well. The US was also planning an invasion of Japan.
People make it sound like they were just a bunch of happy go lucky people, hanging out, smoking weed, catching butterflies and playing hacky sack until out of the blue, the US decided to murder them. The fact is that Japan had comitted more attrocities than Nazi Germany and had ZERO intent of surrendering. Senior Japanese military officers were also planning to kidnap the Emporer himself (or attempted to) to make sure there was no surrender.
