The same goes for the rape of Nanking (already mentioned) or the slaughter of millions of civilians by Axis forces during the war.
Both sides used terror tactics and if anyone thinks the Japanese wouldn't have done the same to our cities if they had the chance, they're fools.
On the other hand the use of the atomic bombs, however terrible the act was, saved millions of lives, both Japanese, Allied, and civilians in occupied areas.
I used to know a Dutch guy who, as a kid - emphasis KID - spent years in a Japanese prison and saw the cruelty daily. He said using the nukes saved his life and those of countless others.
Oh, and the "filth" my father has caused? To spend his life as a GP helping others.
The main problem is condemning those who use similar tactics later on. You do know that 9/11 was carried out mainly as paying to Americans their same treatment of Afghans and Muslims.
That is the exact reason why many Muslims see Osama bin Laden as a hero.
What about Guantanamo Bay and the terrible torture that happens in it? lots of its inmates turned out to be innocents, so wouldn't beheading American soldiers -and all workers who aid them- be legitimate following your justification for the bombings of WW2?
In other words; the ones the west calls "terrorists" are just a reflection in the mirror of the west's own deeds.
Did you see now how ISIS warriors got born? they were born because the west's foreign policy exist.
Just like "ISIS" bombs the innocents to send a message, so as western countries.
Just like ISIS tortures, western countries torture.
It's a coin with the west's own face printed on the other side, my dear.
Notice: that's neither my law nor how I judge, but I'm trying to open your mind to the world of the west. Indeed ISIS is not Islamic but it's western just like the orcs of WW2
