I know it may seem a bit weak, but I wish that we would have dropped one of the bombs on an uninhabited pacific island first, and did it with the worlds attention.

Then threatened to drop several on various Japanese cities if we didn't secure their unconditional surrender.

I think that action of bravado may have spared both Okinawa and Nagasaki.
