Should the nuclear bombing of japan in WW2 be considered a war crime?

I know that america likes to style herself as the "good guy" but how is the death of tens of thousands of civilians and hundreds of thousands including radiation poisoning anything but a war crime?

Should the beheading of prisoners of war by Japan be considered a war crime too?
What about the Japanese making their own women and children jump off cliffs to their death so they will not be captured by American forces?
What about the Japanese invasion of Manchuria which is the reason behind Pearl Harbour as the U.S. stopped the supply of materials to Japan.The Japanese wanted to take materials and oil from the Dutch East Indies but knew the American Pacific fleet would prevent that,hence the attack on the Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbour first.
