Let's back up here a moment.
Did the US nuke Japan? We sure did. However, there was no such thing as WMD back then. At the time the US had just built what it considered a "bigger bomb".
At the time warfare was very different. There were no "smart weapons" and when cities got bombed the entire cities got bombed. Firebombing one city in Japan (and Germany) did much more damage than the two nukes.
