Well the Japs haven't caused any problems since then have they? I suspect the rest of Asia was probably rather grateful for the US doing that.
It's easy to sit back and criticize now, but keep in mind those idiots were the ones that coined the phrase 'kamikaze'. They couldn't be defeated by any rational means of attrition since they were not only willing to die but found some kind of twisted honor in doing so.
BTW, there were far more civilian casulties from single bombing runs in the European theatre in WWII than Hiroshima or Nagasaki. The only reason you don't hear people bitching about it is because it was from conventional weapons.
