Rape isn't quite war. To end a global conflict through the demonstration of an unstoppable power is another thing altogether. The US could have well nuked Japan to a slagpile. They could have hit a majorly populated area, a capital city. Instead, they chose largely industrial targets, to not only cripple Japan's war machine but to minimalise civilian casualties.
