This poll is missing one option.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki are "soft" targets that were selected because of the large presence of the military in and around these cities.   

Dropping the atom bomb in the middle of Tokyo--near the Imperial Palace--would have been much more effective.


If by "effective" you mean ensure that Japan does not surrender.

Except killing off the Emperor would have meant the Japanese would have refused to surrender thus requiring 1) dropping more nukes, 2) a combination of a naval blockade and aerial bombardment, or 3) a land invasion.
