Unconsciously ashamed of our own action in using the bomb, we were waiting for pay-back

Unbelievable idiot. This sounds like a pansy who immediately wets himself anytime anyone mentions the word 'nuclear' or 'atomic'. A typical coward though, and likely using the 'fear' of nukes and the modern liberal psychosis against any war/combat of any type to confuse the casual reader into forgetting the crispy cities that came before the nukes.

Dresden and Tokyo were devastated by incendiary bombs, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of civilians were killed in the fire bombings of many cities in WW2.

Someone needs his depends changed.

I think even modern day Japanese, some war survivors, many still unforgiving of H and N (the closer you get to these modern, totally rebuilt cities), would be eyes-glazing- over, shaking their heads in disbelief when they heard this crackpot psycho-cultural explanation, and would say "you don't know the Americans, do you? They were never waiting for any such payback. The three events are entirely unrelated."

I had heard some Japanese say "well, now they know the feeling", but that is about as far as it went and I never knew anyone per say who glorified over the 9-11, but only wished the US the best.
