So, how would you characterize the U.S. firebombing campaign of Japanese cities during WWII? Firebombs were specifically used due to Japanese houses being easily combustible.

Bear in mind, similar actions were also being done on the European front.

A direct, deliberate attack targeting civilians? A war crime -— terrorism -— no matter who does it.
