The Atomic Bombings "Worked." They're OK.

Every terrorist targets civilians and excuses his actions by invoking the Greater Good. Yes, the "conventional" bombings of, e.g., Dresden, Hamburg and Tokyo, were terrorist acts. As were al-Qaeda's attacks on 9/11. Whereas the homicidal humanitarians insist there's something different about the Benevolent Hegemon's brand of terrorism, the rest of us view universality as the hallmark of morality. The apologists' excuses strike us as just that.
