It's more of an opinion question but i feel that they did. An argument to support that is that the United States had two option's, either bomb Hiroshima & Nagasaki, or invade Tokyo to find swarms of Japanese troops in the city and risk 500,000 allied troops, more than half American. From Truman's stand point at that time, and probably today he would drop the bombs to hurt enemy civilians and soldiers rather than our own. Also, it is argued that the bombs shouldn't have been dropped because we gave no warning but if you think back, the Japanese gave us no warning when they attacked Pearl Harbor.
On the other hand, some say we should not have dropped the bombs. There were many innocent lives lost immediately and more later on due to radiation and burns. Some say we only were thinking of ourselves and the here and now rather than the future consequences.

How did the attack on Pearl Harbor changed the relationship between Japanese Americans and the public as a whole?
After the bombing the Americans, thinking that the Japanese Americans could be spies, set up some mini camps and sent them there.
