You guys act as if japan was the same back then as today.  They raped and murdered large parts of Asia and carried out horrific expierments on the local populations.  They beat and murdered PoW's on a regular basis.  Using the nuke was the most peaceful solution.  Japan killed around 15-25million people during WW2.  And you need to only look at the battles of the small islands the US hit making their way to japan to know that any invasion of japan would of killed ten fold what the bombs killed. 

Are you actually saying that the Japanese should've been "punished"? And do you actually think the actions of the Japanese military were in any way the fault of the civilians? During the war, things like the Manchurian massacre weren't even mentioned in Japan. The general population had no ideea what their army was doing .

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were important military towns, their destruction was one of military importance.  They were not just normal citizens.  Japan refused to surrender just one week before the first bomb was dropped, they were told they would be destroyed. 

Japan was training its self as a nation to attack and hate the US for when the potential invasion took place.  You can bet that every man woman and child would have gone to war to protect japan.   They would have either fought or took their lives out of fear of the US soldiers.
