Hmmm, interesting take on this.
It isnt a crime to drop a bomb on an industrial city when you are at war with the country that the city is in, that indeed is "war", no crime was commited, the Germans did it for months on London, the nature of the weapon is irrelevant. However, the real question is, did the bomb dropped on Nagasaki occur before or after the Japanese surrendered? Some say the Japs had offered a surrender but the Yanks dropped it anyway, payback for Pearl, we may never know but if this is true then that would be a war crime. Google this subject and you will find equal arguements for both cases so I dont know.
