proper recounting of history requires you look at the events in the light of the times of the event. and the fact is civilian targets were fair game in ww2. we tried it the other way when we 1st entered the war, but that didn't work. we didn't start it, we weren't the only ones, all sides did it.
None of that makes it acceptable. Dropping atomic bombs on civilians is not acceptable no matter how someone tries to spin it or write it in the history books.

Man will always find a way to justify his horrific actions and senseless murder of others.
