> better yet, they could have bombed Germany too but thats another story.

The atomic bombs were dropped in August 1945. Germany surrendered in May of 1945, before the Trinity test (first test of a nuclear device) in July!

> I'd like to point out the two bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki as retaliation for Pearl Habour.

This is far too simple - it's widely accepted that there were multiple reasons for using the bombs that do not include simple revenge. Most notable were the estimates of allied casualties to invade mainland Japan after the experience of clearing islands during the Pacific campaign.

It's also worth noting that consent to use the bombs was required and given by the British per the Quebec Agreement of 1943.

True.

Simple motivations are most powerful. Japan was teetering and no longer a credible threat. Air raids and the pamphlets had already weakened support for the war against US within the JPN government, considerjng most people did not agree with it initially. It was just a matter of time.
