I agree with the above posts and something to add:
The American forces were suffering heavy casualties from kamikaze fighters in the fight for Okinawa. If they are going to lauch a full scale attack on the mainland Japan, the losses would be even more devastating, thus dropping the A-bombs is a more cost effective action.
