I don't think they needed to invade. It was our thirst for blood and revenge that would not allow us to take our time and lay a siege on Japan. It was a 9/11 type lust for revenge that FDR had to contend with. They had no planes or ships left to challenge us. We could have just laid offshore and picked them apart until they surrendered. And if they did feel a need to drop the bomb to make a point, they should have done it on a military installation, not on defenseless women and children.
