We were engaged in a 4-year war with Japan, they weren't going to give up, we needed to stop them, and either we tried to scare the Japs out of fighting by nuking them or invading them. If we invaded Japan, it would have taken an extra year of fighting and it would have killed 1 million US soldiers and 2 million Japanese people. On the contrary, only a few thousand died in the bombing. The goal of the bombing was to stop the war.
