[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.

Everybody was doing it --- yes. But it's still a war crime.

The victor decides what constitutes a "War Crime". There is no objective definition.

You don't have to do it to them.

You can always let them do it to you.

They will be happy to oblidge you.

Hence the quotes around "collateral damage" The plan was to kill and discourage the means of production. Our plan will eventually be to kill and discourage jihads financial roots. These roots are civilian. They may not slit the throat, but they buy the knife and cheer the result. Total war knows no bounds, civilians become a legitimate target, nuclear weapons become a legitimate weapon. Destroy the enemy or be destroyed. Peacenics will never understand this, including many Christians. I get it. If you don't then get out of the way, because sooner or later we will do what is necessary, to hell with any obstructionists. Islam will surrender and civilize when it is beaten to within an inch of its life, any other approach is folly and doomed to failure.
