The problem is that you cannot really answer the question without looking at the conflict in a much broader context. Trying to answer this question alone is like equipping a rocket with only it's third stage... the necessary preconditions for a proper response are simply absent.

For example, killing is immoral under normal circumstances. This is often amended greatly in war-- 'war' being the context in which the killing occured. So moral determinations are usually context-driven.

Much of the "blame" for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, such as it is, lies many years earlier when poor decisions began an inevitable series of events leading to WW2. The true immorality lies with those people that made the war, rather than those who fought in it or decided how to fight it.
