Emperor Hirohito{I think I've been spelling that wrong in my past posts:D} was the first to oppose going to war, and was the first to sign the peace treaty aboard the Missouri. Surely then, if the Emperor's power was respected by Tojo and his dictator friends, then perhaps the Atom bombs would enver have been dropped. Though surrender period, was a taboo for the Japanese, and it took the Emperor himself to stop the fighting.

As much as I hate the fact that thousands of Japanese died with the Atom bombs, it had to be done, it was that, or perhaps total annihilation for the Japanese people. The Invasion of the Home Islands would've done just that, and would've made WW2 much bloodier then it was.

As cold as this may sound, the Atomic weapons were necessary, and they were used.
