    They could have dropped the bombs on the coast or a non populated area as a warning, and act if they didn’t surrender though. That’s a demonstration, dropping it in a city/town was not, that was a masacre.

      They dropped the first one on a city and that didn’t get the point across, what would bombing a beach do?

        the plan was always to drop at least 2, to show it was not a one-off trick.
