Indeed the atomic bomb only killed a portion of the Japanese population. But the genophage didn't kill any krogan when it was employed. And the krogan were in a position where they would likely triumph over the Citadel, necessitating the use of the genophage. There are too many differences, which is why it wasn't a literal comparison (i.e. 'using the genophage was like using the atomic bomb in World War II). My mention of the atomic bomb was meant to point out the foolhardiness of trying to paint a complex and amoral issue like the legitimate use of a WMD against an enemy in wartime in overly simplistic terms like "good or bad".
