The Japanese were, when you look at the history, on the verge of surrender -- albeit deeply divided on it. The anti-surrender faction fought their case to the bitter end even after the bombs.

Not saying that the bombs made no difference, they certainly did, but they likely didn't stop a full-blooded invasion -- it wouldn't have gone that far.
