Was Truman Justified?

I don't think Truman was justified to drop the bombs on the two Japanese cities. He killed many innocent civilians and no one is justified to do that. The Japanese military was the one to not surrender, it was not the civilians choice or fault. I think that in order to get his point across to the Japanese Military, he should've done something to them, not to the citizens. Although it may have seemed like he didn't have any other option, I think bombing innocent people was the worst possible option. It is inhumane and I don't see how anyone could have the heart to do that.
