Indeed. The Japanese government makes no effort to redress the numerous war crimes and acts of genocide (just one example from where I grew up) their predecessors committed.
Instead they're happy to sweep it under the rug and act like they were unwilling participants, forcibly dragged into a war they didn't want by western imperialists. Horseshit. Until they recognise the many horrific crimes of their forefathers, it's a bit rich to try and guilt the West about the atom bombs as they've done before (not necessarily in this instance).
Here's a good book if you're looking to explore the issue.
Edit: The book I'm linking isn't the one I remembered so my comment is basically worthless. I might have gotten the whole thing wrong.
Read this. Explains a lot of why and how Japan, Germany and Austria atoned for their war crimes and why and how. Good overview, will save pointless speculation in this thread too.

Yeah, that and the one in Hiroshima are anti-war primarily. So yes, that would be the main content.
It's not the bare minimum. I recommend War Guilt and World Politics after World War II by Dr. Berger. There is open discussion on the topic, I've seen it in classrooms and this book provides evidence outside of my anecdote.
