    Twice as many Japanese would have died had we invaded.

      Those weren’t the only choices.

      The bomb could have been used on a military target rather than an overwhelmingly civillian population.

      Actually, the Japanese were already trying to find a way to surrender at the time. The Soviet Union invading would’ve been the last straw, the US was trying to get in a bomb first because they didn’t want the Soviet Union to have a victory. And to them, that was worth hundreds of thousands of lives.
