Make me laugh, you do! The combined total of deaths of the two bombings combined we around 350,000. Now it was either that or invade mainland Japan, which would cause upwards of 100,000 allied deaths and over 250,000 Japanese deaths, military and civil. Also, Truman knew that if an invasion started, the 100,000 allied POW's being held captive in Japan would be SLAUGHTERED by the Japanese. Now:
350,000 < over 400,000
You decide.
