As almost all of the able bodied people in Japan at the time were willing to die for the empire and willing to fight with any weapons possible I think the bombs saved millions of japanise lives and half as many non japanise lives. It was the best stratagy in every way. It is common belief that Japan would of fought to literally the last man if an invasion on to there soil was made by the forces of the world.
What was done ended the war sooner and helped rebuild the world sooner. No grey area in my mind.
