Making the bomb was a good decision, dropping two over civilians after the war finished was genocide.
But the war wasn't finished.
The US was never trying to exterminate the Japanese race and culture, so no it wasn't genocide. It was a fucked up act of war, maybe you could even call it an atrocity, but calling it a genocide is wrong by definition.
