To be an atrocity, it has to be extremely ethically wrong for some reason. I do not think it was, so I do not agree it was an atrocity. If it is the least-bad

To be an atrocity, it has to be extremely ethically wrong for some reason. I do not think it was, so I do not agree it was an atrocity.
If it is the least-bad long term option, that makes it in context the ethical choice. Hence, not an atrocity.
