Has anyone ever though about the civilian losses that Japan suffered due to the A-bombs AFTER the war? AFAIK, it was still killing in the 80-90's. Use of as terrible weapon as those two bombs, that still kill 40-50 years after the war has ended cannot be justified. Not with Pearl Harbor, not with shortening the war. Civilian casualties are the byproduct of war, always been and always will be. But targeting deliberately to 2 civilian cities is just plain WRONG, no matter which side you are or what you're enemy has done. Sorry, but I just cant see how it can be justified.
But yeh, like our very own motormouth STEED said, it's done and cant be changed. I would like to say that luckily we've learned something from those days, but I cant as that would be an lie. Military targets still seem to have priority no matter the civilian casualties.
