As a guy with a Korean family, let me speak for Korea when I say-- fuck 'em. How many millions did the Japanese rape, how many cities did they sack? How many thousands did they do sick medical experiments on? How much humilitation did they very deliberately inflict on their Asian neighbors?
I understand many/most in those cities were innocents. But their deaths must have brought a lot of pain to the emperor and to his soldiery, and it's hard to call foul at evil being repaid with evil-- payback's a bitch, and the attacked has no responsibility to protect the initial attackers IMO. How much should a Japanese life, in any form, have been worth to the Americans in 1945? I'd say America showed a lot more restraint than Japan would have if they had won.
As for the Japanese being totally defenseless-- that's their problem. That's a good cue to surrender, before not even one city goes up in smoke. But AFTER TWO? Come on.
So in summary-- fuck 'em, hope there's a hell so they can burn in it.
