Why is it that the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima not considered atrocities?

by williamtan816

Perhaps I just need help to understand, but from what I see that was textbook genocide, killing civilians even the babies and pregnant women etc. Shouldn't whoever ordered that attack be considered among the greatest villains of history, amount Stalin and Mao?

Sorry if this is a sensitive topic.
