9/11=terrorism?

The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed at least 100000 civilians. These were not military targets. Japan was a military dictarorship at the time, the people had not elected the people in power and had no authority to sway them in any way, and therefore not responsible for any action that regime took.
They were not warned that their homes would be bombed by a weapon that their shelters could not protect them from.
How would you defend this without justifying the attack on WTC on 9/11?

This is semantics, but "1+1=2" is an axiom of mathematics.  It has no actual truth value, but instead is an assumed starting point constructed precisely for the purpose of spawning useful statements about mathematics.  In other words, "1+1=2" really is useful to believe, but it is not true.  Of course, I don't really have any idea what specifically Xel was citing in >>34's comment, but oh well.

My 2 cents: Killing of ANY kind is always evil and wrong.  We should, however, always attempt to understand and be forgiving of motives and justifications.  We're only human, after all.
