They also thought their emperor was divine, and we know that people willing to die for their god are assholes. Also, the so-called "rules of combat" have changed. The Germans thought nothing of bombing the hell out of London for a couple of years. They also used Big Bertha to shell Paris in WWI. We bombed the snot out of Germany at that time too. Now, you accidently wipe out a few hundred civilians in the middle of a city that we are at WAR with, and everyone throws a hissy fit. I see nothing wrong with using the best tools at hand to win a war. The Japanese attacked us in their arrogance thinking that a preeemptive strike would cow us and keep us out of the Pacific. HA! Maybe the Japanese should apologize again for bayoneting american pows and for beheading our soldiers. Also for Pokemon.
