All in all, probably 250,000 people died in the bombings of Japan. Around 80,000 died in the first bombing and less died in the second, the rest were killed by radiation poisoning.

I'm a psycho murderer?
If anything you are for wanting to of sent many more Americans to their deaths by an unnecessary invasion. You never even answered my question in the first place.
If you were Truman what would YOU of done? Would you of killed 250,000 Japanease with the two atomic bombs, or would you of sent Americans to invade Japan where estimated casualties were around a million?
You also talk about many of these people hand NOTHING to do with the war, sorry that isn't so. Did you know that every man, woman, and child able was issued a 6 ft sharpened pipe so they could kill any American invaders? Did you know that many of these "innocent" civilians were ready to drive boats into the invading ships?
Also, these people had a chance to leave the city. American bombers dropped thousands upon thousands of fliers telling the Japanease that these certain cities would be bombed unless Japan surrendered. The people had a chance to escape, they didn't and got ready to fight.
If you still say you'd rather invade and the bombs were "wrong" you obviously have no idea the sacrific American soldiers went through so you could sit here today and say what you want to say.

Also, people don't realize but more people were killed in the fire bombing raids of Tokyo than almost all of the 250,000 that died due to the atomic bombs. Again almost more people died in the bombings of Dresden and Cologne in German than both atomic blast, but I don't hear people on here saying those were wrong either.
