it's unfortunate but yes the atomic bomb had to be dropped, more horrific casualties (for both sides) would have resulted from the invasion of the japanese homland, and it would've taken ALOT longer for them to get back on their feet.

reading the experiences of survivors of hiroshima/nagasaki certianly brings it home that nukes will hopefully never be used again
