Goddammit, this broke me up, 9min Japanese cartoon depicting the bombing of Hiroshima

Someone in this thread said the Japanese people should not have been held responsible for what their leaders did. They attacked Pearl. Hiroshima and Nagasaki became craters. If the citizens of any country does not take responsibility for their goverment they have forfeited their rights and perhaps their lives. It does not matter whether it was possible or impossible to control your own goverment. The result will be the same. As it will be for the USA.

Fucking stupid statement to make.
 
Instead of animosity, a genuine question (it's been a while since I've read about WWII). I've always heard it explained the nuclear bombing under the idea of "not justified but necessary." That the war is Europe was dying out and that the US wanted the Pacific theatre over as well, with two options: sieging by bombing or a land invasion (with a lot more Allied deaths with a land invasion). So my question is, were there any alternatives to nuclear bombing that wouldn't put Allied forces in significant risk? If I remember correctly, weren't there Russian forces about to enter/entering China around this time? Would that have made a difference?
