Answer:
Well.. it depends on your view.
Explanation:
This isn't a question you can get wrong, as I'm very sure its just something to spark a thought. But here's a few things I can to get your noggin jogging.
In Eisenhower's speech, he stated that the atomic bombs (we'll call them nukes heron) were used to end the prolonged agony and suffering of war, to paraphrase. But is that really true?
From eyewitness accounts, destruction was immense. People had holes in their chests, survivors were inflicted with radiation poisoning, it truly was awful. But could you say the Japanese deserved it?
While its not really the best way of thinking, the Japanese did plenty of war crimes in the Pacific. Take a look at Nanking (i wouldn't suggest it if you're squeamish) as well as the secret units that were made for human experimentation.
The Soviets were coming in August off 1945 in the Soviet Invasion of Manchuria, a massive force numbering roughly 12 million that had begun pushing its way into Berlin after long lines of battle on the Eastern front.
From this, it could be deemed unnecessary to drop the bomb as the war could've been ended as Japan most likely would have surrendered from the pressure of Soviet invasion (which was the case, it wasn't the bombs that made them surrender).
