The atomic bomb is a terrible weapon but all those civilians killed by it were the same ones who worshiped their emperor who perpetuated the war and all the atrocities that his troops did to our troops. Too bad we weren't able to drop the bomb sooner and save more Americans from dying at the hands of those rotten bastards.

I understand the sentiment you express here, but not all Japanese civilians, and not all of those that died as a result of the two atomic bomb blasts, were sympathetic to Japan's war effort. For example, the father of the author of the book I mentioned was burned alive under his collapsed house on 06 August, 1945, and he was previously spent a year and a half in jail for activities that protested and were critical of the war. This isn't me saying the bomb did not save lives, but not all of those that died as a result fall into the category you claim.
