Should the States have dropped the atomic bombs?

I think that it was necessary for the States to drop the bombs. Sure, the war was indeed turning in the favour of the States, but I believe that Eisenhower took the viewpoint that the bombs would have to be dropped in order to end the war quickly with as few American casulties as possible. Besides, there is a chance that the Japanese could've fought back and regained many of the islands in the Pacific. The bombs were truly the only surefire way to end the war.

When responding to this question, please stay within the realm of the impact the bombs had on WWII and not the consequences after (being the Cold War tensions between the States and Russia).
