I think in reality it's about not wanting to sacrifice so many, many American lives. You gotta think of it in context of the times. After four years of friends and family coming back in body bags by the thousands I'd probably be willing to drop the bomb rather than risk them coming back in the millions. Especially after hearing about things like the Bataan Death March and Nanjing.
