Really...

I can think of at least two situations where the use of nuclear weapons is justified:

1) In response to a nuclear attack.

2) As a latch ditch defense against an aggressor bent on annihilation of your country.

The Japanese waged aggressive war and lost. Our demands for unconditional surrender and the dropping of the atomic bombs were justified and all the rantings of revisionist historians standing on the head of a pin won't make it otherwise.
