Innocents and civilians will be killed in war. It is inevitable. I believe it was the right thing to do. Sacrificing some for the benefit of the larger majority is only logical. People die in war. Doesn't have to be fair. Admittedly in hindsight it was not the [i]best[/i] thing to do, but viewed as necessary at the time. Hindisight is marvellous. Now they have weapons, which can make only a [i]very[/i] small explosion, but send a walll of neutrons or something else out, which kills all living things. Is that fairer? better? Casualties will occur, and it is a shame that that step was needed, but If something is too powerful to be stopped through 'fair' means, then it need be stopped by 'unfair' means. Such action is necessary. Undesirable, but in war it can be condoned.
