In a perfect world, this would be true, but in a perfect world there would be no conflict.
The world was at war! To say we shouldn't have used a weapon to end the war because more Japanese would die than Americans doesn't make sense to me. This doesn't mean the Japanese were less important than US, but it's impossible to wage war and look out for the other guys population. That's what the other guy is suppose to do!
It's the same problem we face in Afghanistan today, we are so concerned about the other guy, we place ourselves in jeopardy.
