What if the Japanese had launched a nuclear attack on New York and Los Angeles. Would it still have been the best thing to do to save lives in the long run? Listing Japanese war crimes is fine but the US weren't exactly angels.
I always find the "it was for the best" argument really weird and ill thought out.
