war always kills civilians- by creating a government, people turn over some of their power to it- being a citizen means bearing some of the responsibility for its actions- and the potential reprecussions of warfare- it is not right or good, but if the government that you support starts a war with the rest of the world then bad things are going to tend to happen- likewise, it is difficult to see how a war will unfold untill it is over- who is to say that brittian knew what effect the bombings would have on the course of the war, while they must have known that it would kill many civilians, the objective of war is to cause the enemy to submit, and causing cities to cease to exist in a fire storm probably qualifies as a morale lowering event at the very least
