Another reason Hiroshima and Nagasaki were picked was because we pretty much fire bombed most of the bigger cities throughout Japan and they were running out of targets that would have a big impact.
For those interested in the history we DID warn them and Hilohito wanted to surrender but his Generals and War staff wouldn't let him. He was really a figurehead to keep the masses in line but the country was really run by the Generals.
