In war, deliberate targeting of civilians is not called "terrorism". It is called "war crime".

Hiroshima,Nagasaki,Tokyo........ Dresden? Yep... State on State terrorism... But with the intent of ending the TOTAL WAR in which both nations were involved (in our favor, of course).. And you know something, the American people knew about it.. They approved of it.. And the women even worked long and sweaty hours manufacturing the aircraft (and often ferrying them to the front) in order to carry out those attacks... And why?? Because they knew that it was only a matter of time before the Nazis or Japanese would do the same to the US.. The Nazis were in preliminary stages of creating a "New York Bomber" which could have delivered a nuclear device onto NYC.. As for the Japanese?? They were drawing close to implementing plans to unleash biological warfare against the mainland US via their balloon bombing campaign... I'm not ashamed to confess that the US used deliberate attacks against the civilians in these nations. They, just like ours, were heavily involved in producing the weaponry that was killing our soldiers on the battlefield... Hawk
