That depends on who you ask. If you ask a Marine or soldier in the Pacific in 1945, they would probably agree that it was justified. The casualty projections for the invasion were running at an expected 2,000.000 killed and wounded. Don't forget most Americans also blamed Japan for getting the US into the war by attacking Pearl Harbor. The Japanese obviously didn't feel that the unleashing of the bomb on civilians was justified.
