I think that it was a war crime.

But the Japanese had done that too. Every single country has dropped a bomb at least once -not like the one they did- right, but only cause they were the only ones who had it. Really, if the French had had it, they would have used it as well, the English too, not to mention the Germans.
History is full of unfairness. And it's not just
rich countries:

That's how nice Chinese were. It's hard to watch but then again reality must be known.
So yeah, it was crime, but anyone would have done the same, and also that was not the only crime during the war. Besdies, at that time they didn't really know the consequences, did they?

It's so different nowadays. How'd you show the entire world such thing in year 1945?

Well they lost in Iwo Jima and Okinawa, do you know how much it took the US to recover the Northern Mariana Islands? The Japanese weren't an easy enemy to deal with, and Truman was willing to be remembered as the president who ended World War II... what a moron.

Japan would have surrendered and wouldn't have been bombed.

There were loads of innocent people living in Germany, not only the ones in extermination camps but people who were pretending to be on the Nazi's side in order to save their own ass.
You can't just drop and A-bomb in the middle of Europe, the Allies would have been damaged (especially France), plus it was the Japanese who had to pay for what they'd done in Pearl Harbor, not the Germans. They had been fighting the Japanese for so long, they would have never left without winning. That's American pride... *spits on the American flag*
