The Japanese would have bombed US cities if they'd had the capability. They bombed enough cities throughout Asia and slaughtered millions of civilians in their time there.
Plus this whole judement based on civilian targets it's not really accepting that during WWII civilian targets were generally considered legitimate targets. In Europe and the Pacific wars both axis and allied forces targeted civilian targets all the time. Carpet bombing of German cities wasn't just going after strategic targets!
Still you can't seem to see past one strategic attack on the US that had them enter the war and the dropping of atomic weapons. It's seems this is about the only knowledge of the war you have...sad really.
You seem to believe that the dropping of the bombs were purely in retaliation for the attack on Pearl Harbour. You do realise there was 4 years of intense and bloody fighting between the two events?
