No I do not feel bad. After all of the atrocities committed by the Japanese Army throughout the war not a whole lot can make you feel bad for them.
Also, when you think about it, dropping that nuke saved many lives. If the United States had invaded Japan it is highly unlikely that Japan would have surrendered before a full, complete US victory. This would have resulted in countless Americans lost and an astronomical amount of Japanese casualties.
TLDR; I dont feel bad & dropping the nukes saved lives.

This. People forget that the conventional bombing campaign killed around 1,000,000 Japanese citizens. They're no less dead than the people killed by the atom bomb and far more numerous.
