They had two bombs and the feeling was that they couldnt waste one. If the Japanese had known we didnt have anymore after the two were used, they might have continued fighting so wasting one in the sea or on a mountain may have been counterproductive or so the thinking then went. You have to remember that those were guys who had just fought a brutal war and were trying to save hundreds of thousands americans from fighting in a war that could have lasted one-two years longer. They also didnt fully understand the radical difference of the new weapon. Its easy to criticize after the fact and out of historical context. As i said in an earlier post, Dresden was a much better example of a possible war crime than the A-bomb.
