So, If the US needs to be sorry for dropping an A-Bomb on Japan,

They would certainly use it in 2nd world war if they had the ability to build it.
Just look at their war with China then, against the Chinese army which did not even got a tank, heavy artilery, bombers or a single battleship, and yet still resorted to use bio warface against Chinese resistance to gain final victory in battleground, they simply did'nt care how their enemy and its people suffered , if they didn't win the battle, it was a tremendous lose face.
Japanese at that time were very deceiveful, arrogance and very unscrupulous they resorted to sneaked attack at Pearl Harbour. They regarded human life as nothing , they adopted kamikazi which sacrificed their young men as a last resort to save their country,
With these types of attitutes, the Japanese would definately use atom bomb against any nation that go against them
The U.S. should not apologise or feel sorry for it. In fact, the bombs had save thousands of U.S. soldiers(young men) if invasion was launched in the main land. They asked for it(they started the war and blamed the other for the cause of it). Ironically, the bombs had also saved millions of Jap without the invasion by sacrifice 2 cities, otherwise, they would not have recovered very fast after the war. In fact, they should thank the bombs for what they are now.

hmmm...

its been my experience that if a country develops a system for aggression or defense, they will eventually use the system.

The Japanese were working on an atom weapon (Some historians are hinting that they actually developed one using the electrical and industrial resources in North Korea, and detonated it a few weeks before the surrender) and it is my opinion that they would have used it somehow.

They had no problem with releasing balloon bombs that were meant to start massive fires in the American forests of the Mid West, and there was plans under way to use the balloons to release biological, so i wouldn't put it past them to Use an A-Bomb if they had one.

The past - especially the Second world war is very emotional and very delicate topic - Just ask the Chinese about their relationship with Japan - that is still haunted by the memories of the second world war.

Japanese use of biological and chemical weapons during the war in China and Japanese massacres of civilians - especially Nanjing - has led to China calling regularly for Japan to apologise for its Second World War crimes.

Tensions between Japan and China are particularly delicate when the Japanese Prime Minister goes to the tombs of the war dead - which includes the graves of A class war criminals. Another hot topic is Japanese history books in schools which the Japanese have not recognised their crimes in China and have glossed over the use of chemicals and biological weapons.

Of course, the Japanese get upset when you mention the use of the Atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A friend told me that when they attended the Hiroshima anniversary in Japan, the Japanese looked at them with cold stares - as if we have something to atone for!.

But the debate will always centre on the use of weapons during war, and when those weapons are used against non-military targets and civilians. The use of biological weapons by Japan was against civilians and military personell in non-combatant situation.

The use of the atomic weapons were against military strategic targets. The debate about the A-Bombs is that they were used against factories - civilians, for the Japanese war effort. But u could also use the same criticism for the use of Carpet bombing by the allies against the German city of Dresden, for which the Germans wanted Arthur Harris to be tried for war crimes.

But now that Japan is a major U.S ally, and North Korea is emerging as a nuclear power - will the U.S tolerate Japan if it decides to become a nuclear power against North Korea?

Best thing to do is for everyone to forget the past - because alliances and situations change. Yesterday's enemy can become tommorrows best friend.
