Just as many, if not more, were killed in conventional bombing (Tokyo raids alone ~200K). Perhaps we should have continued this policy to silence the future atomic crybabies? Far more civilians (millions) would have died if the US invaded. Japan had a chance to capitulate after Hiroshima. If it weren't for Hirohito, the Japanese military would have pushed the war even after Nagasaki. War sucks, and Japan was extremely brutal in its conquests. Remember, they believed surrender was dishonorable under any circumstances.
