It helped more than just Japan. It made the world realize that America is the land of the free and is not to be messed with. A war with Japan just after WW2 was too large a risk. Another war would have dampened the spirits of citezens. America needed the morale boost to continue the administrations role as being "good officials." The united states despises war. Politically it was the right thing to do. Look what happened with vietnam. Morally and logically it was the right thing to do. "The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few or the one." There is no question in my mind whether or not the bombings were necassary. I'm not saying it isn't tragic what happened to those japanese cities, but the world's problems can only be solved with sacrifice. It sounds horrible, but people have to die so that other people can live. History shows us this same lesson over and over. For anyone to be happy and free and live jubilantly in peace and prosperity someone has to die or live disgraced, in jail, sad, lonely, hungry, and poor. One of the main fault's of American capitolism. The only way to succeed or get money is to take it from someone else. Communism, the leaders need to have all the money and power and land so that the peoples will worship and respect the state. Everything is give and take. Equivalent exchange.
