Was it necessary for the US to drop an atomic bomb on Japan?

It would have been possible for the US to defeat Japan without using atomic bombs, however, there was a strategic reason for using the bombs, which was that Russia had entered the war and was intent on occupying Japan in much the way that they took over eastern Europe, and note that there is still one Japanese island occupied by Russia to this day, in 2011. So the US, which even before WW II was entirely over was already making plans for the Cold War to come, needed to bring the war with Japan to a rapid conclusion, and they were able to do that by using atomic bombs.
