Um, Germany violated the rules of war by bombing civilians first. After that, all bets were off concerning the bombing of civilians. By allying themselves with Germany, Japan opened themselves up to the same thing. After the Battle of Britain, bombing civilian targets was acceptable, if distasteful (in the case of Dresden). There were no rules regarding super bombs, hell, we didn't even know how bad it was going to be. I don't know where this idea of warcrimes is coming from. The fact is, our elected leader decided to drop the bombs in a calculated effort to minimize casualites, and the rest of the allies didn't object, even after the fact if they didn't know it was going to happen. It worked and the horrible war was over. End of story.
