Because the first one was ignored.

Before you ask, we didn't have a third one ready to go.

>> I have never seen a good argument for the necessity of dropping the 2nd Nagasaki bomb, however.

There is certainly a case to be made that it wasn't necessary. My dad always maintained the surrender could have been insured by just dropping the first bomb slightly off the coast, but I'm not convinced of it.

But from Truman's POV, I can see why it was done.
