All I need to know about whether it was the right decision is that it took 2 bombs for them to surrender. 1 wasn’t enough...

Even after the second bomb, there was an attempted coup by Japanese military leaders to overthrow Hirohito and keep fighting. There was a large faction of that population who wanted to literally fight to the last person. They were training kids how to fight hand to hand combat in case the Americans started invading their cities. It took two nuclear bombs and the threat of the Soviets coming from the north to get them to finally quit.

The bombs were absolutely necessary.
