So does that mean that there is no difference between the civilian casualties we killed

No difference. It's just point of view. They are just for the US, and unjust for the Serbs, Afganistanies, Iraqis, Vietnamies etc.. etc.. Sep 11 was bad, very bad. But the reaction of Bush for Sep 11 was a typical male libido reaction. Instead of try and provide a long term solution to the problem that created Sep 11 first, while try and bring to justice the people responsible, we do not solve the fundamental problem but go into mass bombing killing in the process innocent civilians, and still do not get the masterminds of the whole thing (which was our target to begin with). And after all this, we are now closer to WW-III than we have ever been and more innocent civilians continue to die.

Did World War II 'work'?

Considering that we're getting closer and closer towards WWIII, the answer is no. Killings no matter what name they are done under never work and are never justified without trying to provide a solution to the fundamental problem in the first place. In WW-II we learned from WW-I that we needed to rebuild Germany after destroying it (which was something we did not do in WW-I that caused WW-II). But if/when WW-III takes place we would look at WW-II as a failure of many additional signals that we did not listen to.

The Israeli-Palestinian problem needs to be solved and needs to be solved now. And the US IMO is the only one that can solve the problem once and for all... as incredible naive that sounds considering the 100s of years of war. The longer it takes the closer we get to the point of no return to the abyss.

JMHO.
