I'm a Christian. Yet I see that we are involved in total war with these animals. We will ultimately have to destroy their source of financial and material support. That will involve large amounts of "collateral damage", just as Dresden, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima did.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Dresden, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima noncombatant deaths were not collateral damage. They were part of the intention --- shock-and-awe or terror effect, means to an end ---- as expressed by the choice to use an indiscriminate weapon which would annihilate a significant part of the city and everybody within its radius of destruction.

Everybody was doing it --- yes. But it's still a war crime. And it certainly cannot be justified by the principles of a Just War nor by the precept or the example of Jesus Christ.
