If the Nazis had been determined to fight to the very last man, woman and child, would their total annihilation by the Allies have been a necessary evil?
If Al Qaeda was a genetically discreet group/culture of people, would it be attempted genocide to wipe them out in a war on terror?
No the atomic bombing was not justified because the Japanese regime was already suing for peace, just not accepting unconditional surrender yet and it was not a strong military target. It was on the edge of being justified though, as it was not targeting the women and children.
No killing combatants like the Nazis is not genocide, killing the innocent and the helpless is.
We do not target the wives and children of Al Qaeda, because genocide is morally reprehensible to us. We are too nice to even target their objects of superstition.
There is no situation where we could go into hospitals, asylums, and preschools to murder the innocent without being condemned by society, unlike your god.
We are enormously more moral that your bronze age god.
