War is always cruel, the short-term objective is to kill people, and those deaths are often messy. IIRC, the fire bombings of Japanese cities killed more people per attack than the A-bombings did.
My personal take on this is that as horrific as the A-bombings of Japan were, it was better that atomic weapons were used in their infancy. If not for the knowledge of the destruction wrought by the two atomic bombings of '45, more powerful weapons might have been more easily used during, say, the hot points of the Cold War.
