I might not be the most knowlegable about the pacific war, but from my understanding we had already destroyed japans power to make war in the pacific ocean by the time we decided to nuke them. And like other members have said Russia was already in the mix and forcing japans hand. I don't think we needed to nuke or invade japan, just kick their ass till they don't want to fight us which we did.
This may offend people but Pearl Harbor was not justification for Hiroshima. The death count is just not balanced nor the after effects. And if you want to weigh civ casualties it's even more one sided.

Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.
