I believe the use of the atomic bomb was right. Sure, 130000 people died in the two nuclear blasts, but compared to the millions of Americans and Japanese that would have died if there was an invasion, it was worth it.

It was war, and anything goes in war. I would rather have seen the bombs dropped on a legitimate military target to minimize civilian casualties, but then there would have been heavy defenses to get through. Unfortunately, the destruction includes civilians many times.
