no, i dont think it was justified
as was mentioned earlier the war would likely have been won without those civilian casualty producing devices. when we kill civilians like that, we are really no better (and probably worse) than terrorists like bin laden.
If russia had managed to gain more land out if it, so what? japan is an island with few natural resources - which is why japan went to war in the first place, because they wanted to conquer areas with the resources they need.
the cold war would probably occur still even if we did not drop the bombs, there was massive military testing of nuclear weaponry on some island so they knew just how powerful it was. and the scientist who leaked the info. would probably still leak it in the alternate future.
