The second bomb was a bit pointless wasn't it?

Agreed.

However, the WMD broke the political stalemate at that time and the Japanese would have continued fighting, albeit with less strength, but that means more firebombing of Japanese cities and the war would continue.

I think though, the bomb gave the Japanese some face to go about stoping the war. With their strong belief in honor and strong sense of patriotism, they wouldn't have stopped until they were fully and truly defeated (and who knows how long that would've taken).

But you know, after the bombs were dropped their military still withstand surrender until the Soviet decided to enter the war. They only stop then because of a threat of a third bomb, this time targeting Tokyo (they found out when the captured an American pilot lied(?) about the US having '100' more bombs).

So, I thought that the bombs was justified.
