Hiroshima and Nagasaki

With the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the U.S. DIRECTLY targeted civilians.  They also directly targeted civilians with the firebombing of Tokyo and Dresden.  The Japanese and German GOVERNMENTS committed many atrocities, but that in no way makes it moral or right for the U.S. to murder civilians in those countries.

You can make all the arguments you want about how murdering these civilians brought an early end to the war.  This does not change the fact that civilian men, women, and children were murdered.  When other people do this, we call them terrorists.  That label applies equally here.

Why do you defend murderers?  The U.S. Government killed innocent people who were not attacking them.  That is the very definition of murder.

They used the exact same methods (albeit far more destructively) as the terrorists they are now denouncing.

Based on your argument, it is ok for terrorists to kill innocent civilians, and that I am wrong for denouncing them.
