Yes, the use of nuclear weapons is a war crime.
It wasn't at the time, which is what counts. Ex post facto, and all that.
Nuclear weapons, now (26 JAN 04) *are not* out lawed by Geneva or any other
Laws of Armed Conflict. Unlike their more abundant counterparts like Chemical
Weapons and Biological Weapons, Nuclear weapons *are* legal.
