1) Your saying the bombings weren't nessassary. However it was one of three nessassary options.
The other two options were
Invade by land, more japanese soldiers die, more citizensed forced to fight die and more people starve.
Blockade, more soldiers die, more citzens die
2) That's not true at all. Lets go through this
A) It is intended to help win the war. Well yeah this was basically the plan to end the war. Check.
B) It must be an attack on a military target. Both bombs were targeted at military targets inside the cities. Check.
C) The civilian losses must not be excessive compared to the expected military advantage.
The military advantage expected? Winning the war because a show of weapons that big a country would have to be insane to ignore.
The number of civilians dead? Much less then if we didn't win the war that way.
Check.
3) Doesn't change the fact that you stated your opinion as if an expert and dismissed other opinions.
