I don't think my opponents coming back so I'll provide a short argument. 

Though the atomic bombing dropped had a great effect on the world at large, there is little evidence supporting the notion that it was necessary. Japan had already accepted eventual defeat. Had the US continued with their conventional attacks, it is clear that the Japanese would have surrendered.
