There is nothing new in this article, but the position is still bogus.
There was no guarantee that the Japanese would surrender, even after we dropped the atomic bombs. The firebombing of Japanese cities was actually more devastating in real terms than the A-bombs were, but that did not force them to surrender.
I suggest you read up on Operation Downfall (Collectively Operations Coronet and Olympic). The alternatives to the a-bombs were very unattractive to the allies, but even moreso to the Japanese.
BTW: What parallels?
