<<Were the Polish Jews providing aid and comfort to enemies of the United States? That should answer your question. >> Not quite - would you have condoned the wholesale bombing of France during WWII? The French (except for the resistance) were not fighting back any more, and the Vichy government was definitely giving aid and comfort. Even then, I don't think America or its allies would have been justified in bombing out civilians that were only cooperating due to German threats of force. That is not so different from what many people in the third world or under any dictatorship live under. As soon as you justify killing innocents, you give more power to the people you are fighting against. In "the Art of War" Sun Tzu says that you must have the moral high ground to fight a war. IMHO, you lose that high ground when you condone killing civilians.
