Context is everything. It is not irrelevant that it occurred in the middle of a ferocious war where bombardment of civilian centers had been initiated by the enemy, and that there was fear of the Nazi nuclear program. But, as I say, I have not studied enough to have a firm opinion......

it was a clear act of terrorism at the hands of the United States in WWII You are back again, I see. This event occurred 60 years ago. There were many acts of "terrorism" in the Second World War -- it was a period of terror. These acts were committed by all sides. There was terrorism in World War I, as well. There were numerous acts of terrorism in the second half of the 20th century, also. And as well throughout the preceding centuries. Could you explain why you seem to have this fixation on certain acts of the U.S. that occurred 60 years ago? Have you recently learned of them for the first time? What objective motivates your posts on these specific acts of the U.S. during the Second World War? Do you believe, perhaps, that you are the first person ever to come along and question the morality of these instances of war conduct? Is that the reason? Are you seeking some kind of closure on these episodes that pertain to the U.S.only and to the Second World War only? If so, what resolution would bring you that closure? Just curious. Thanks.
