It was just a way for the US to posture on the global stage. Two wrongs don't make a right, basically. I'm also naive enough to firmly believe that might doesn't make right.
Plus, speaking as a citizen of a British colony, I can't say that imperial Japan was really exceptional with regards to their cruelty when compared to other empires. I'm not trying to downplay their war crimes, I'm just saying that I can completely understand why a Japanese person wouldn't forgive the US for unpunished war crimes.
