... and the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor would be considered what in your opinion ? ...

Killing 150,000 civillians with a nuclear bomb is terrorism, plain and simple. If we had fought, the casualties would have been high, but we would have fought with and against military men.
The "we must kill them to save them" logic only makes you look like an equivocating fool.
The Japanese bombing of Peal Harbor was a surprise attack by their military on a legitimate military target. The sort of attack you'd have been cheering for had we done it to them.
