"Exactly like when Pearl Harbor became the excuse for frying millions of innocent Germans and nuking two Japanese cities after the war was de facto over." I am not the biggest fan of bombing civilian targets. Both for humanitarian and more pragmatic grounds. While we and the British were bombing factories, German production of war materials actually went up. Now consumer production went all to hell, and it might have made a difference if the war had dragged out for several more years, but that is speculation. But it wasn't and still isn't against US law to bomb even civilian targets in war time. It is against US law to torture or instruct anyone to torture. So that would be one difference.
