    Excellent point. Nor should one overlook pure bureaucratic momentum. One of the most succinct responses to this eternal question came from physicist Freeman Dyson; When asked (in Jon Else's magnificent 1980 documentary "The Day After Trinity", although as you'll see from this clip he had much to say on the subject in ours), "Why did we drop those bombs?", he replied, "Because we had already paved the runways at Tinian."

    In the aftermath of Nagasaki Japan surrendered unconditionally to the Allies. (They were allowed to keep the Emperor as a largely-ceremonial figurehead, but that was all.) The Pacific War was over by August 15th - less than ten days after Hiroshima. The post-war Allied occupation of Japan began almost immediately and lasted for the next six years. Access was not an issue.

    That certainly factored into the justification, though the primary (stated) reason was the need to shock Japan into surrendering without the loss of life on both sides that would result from an Allied invasion of the Home Islands. Unfortunately the full story is too multi-layered and complicated for this limited forum. I hope you'll research this further. (And our accountant hopes you'll acquire a complete copy of this documentary as we deal with the many reasons in much greater detail there.)
