Totally dissimilar.One was to end a war which had been stertad against the US (funnily enough over oil as Japan didn’t have any and the US were enforcing an embargo prior to Pearl Harbour). The other was to wage war on a country which produced oil, whilst interfering in the affairs of an (admittedly unpopular) sovereign nation whom the US had been happy to support through the Iran Iraq War. There are several other arguments Truman had the weapon and after spending billions of dollars on it they wanted to know if it worked. They also wanted to demonstrate to their allies (USSR) how things were going to pan out in the post war world (thus precipitating the Cold War, Korea, Vietnam etc etc). There is probably some merit in the notion that the Japanese would not surrender so hastening the war by visiting total destruction probably saved thousands of allied lives. The decision to bomb Nagasaki could well be described as a war crime in other circumstances, if you believe the Japanese were sueing for peace at the time. There was no United Nations to help resolve the earlier conflict there might as well not have been with regard to Iraq for all the notice the US took of it. Not that they were alone: as yet again Britannia waives the rules.
