They didn't want the Soviets to reap the benefits of Japan so they nuked it to make the territory not worth anything.

@wildbill83 it's kinda like if you don't want someone to eat your candy you lick it. By nuking Japan the U.S. was destroying some of its natural resources making it less appealing to Soviet Russia.
