Keep this in mind. Whenever you are the oppressor you have to either justify it as 'just moral retribution' or the violence as a 'very small and necessary evil' to prevent a huge catastrophe.. Both sides in the US have the same thinking. They are the good guys no matter what... IMO, if you can throw 2 nuclear bombs on cities and still think of yourself as the good guys in that context.. I'm sure you can do anything you want and still think of yourself as good guys...
