First off, of COURSE it would be more beneficial to get it over quickly. However, nuclear weapons are NOT the way to go. Only a complete idiot would drop them.

Using them would be a knee-jerk reaction of someone who hasn't taken the time to analyze anything at all.

You have yet to give any valid arguments as to why they would be justified in this situation. (Well, other than trying to compare this to Japan, which is a joke, really.)
