  • invasion - already planned
  • chemical weapons - already planned, if Japan resisted as they had in last islands
  • firebombing - already in progress
  • let Japan keep everything they conquered - unacceptable

With what was planned the war would have lasted over a year longer (Japan actually had plans to try to stretch it out ten years and keep everything they had conquered even though they would have to ultimately surrender). Had chemical weapons been used against Japan this would have been the first time the US broke the Geneva Convention.
