What? Pearl Harbor? Morally, the entire bombing campaign against Japanese cities, including both conventional and nuclear bombing, was justified by deliberate extermination of Chinese civilian population (estimated 2.7 million civilian deaths in North China for years 1940-1942). > In a study published in 1996, historian Mitsuyoshi Himeta claims that the Three Alls Policy, sanctioned by Emperor Hirohito himself, was both directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of "more than 2.7 million" Chinese civilians. Sankō Sakusen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Alls_Policy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Alls_Policy (That "justification" doesn't look valid in my eyes, don't take me wrong. Eye for an eye, civilian for a civilian?...) Alas, it certainly looks like US had already decided that they indiscriminately target Japanese civilians long before they had nuclear weapons. The single most devastating conventional raid on Tokyo on 10 March 1945 claimed 90-100 thousand deaths (it's slightly more than Hiroshima).
