Why was it justified to drop the atomic bomb on Japanese cities?

Because we were not capable of precision bombing that would guarantee that dropping them on a purely military site would even hit the military target (we missed the target at Nagasaki by 1.9 miles!), thus it was vital that the military site be embedded in an urban area to ensure that dramatic and significant damage would happen even if the intended military site remained unscathed due to bombing errors.
Many potential purely military sites in Japan were deliberately left off the target list as they were too far from a major city to be certain that the desired damage would happen if the bomb was dropped in the wrong place due to errors.
