Too many have died already before reaching Japan's main land. Going in would have add thousands of American deaths to the list and by the way, the US had a good revenge.

Why did they drop the bomb instead of war?

There were several causes that ushered in the use of the bomb. The overwhelming consensus of opinion was to use the bomb - but not all the President's advisors agreed. President Truman later said that if he had a weapon that would save American lives and did not use it, the American public would never forgive him. Manpower was beginning to become a problem for the United States; some projections for the invasion of Japan predicted 1 million US wounded and dead; the recent battles at Iwo Jima and Okinawa indicated a stiffening Japanese resistance the closer Americans approached to the home islands proper. All of these reasons added up to the inevitable decision to use the bomb(s).
