On: The Firebombing of Tokyo

[jpollock]

Why is it wrong to bomb civilians? It doesn't seem to "break the will of the enemy", but what makes it "wrong"?

Don't the citizens have at least a little bit of responsibility for the actions of the government they chose to represent them?

Shouldn't war be just as messy for the people who are funding and manufacturing the weapons as it is for the soldiers doing the shooting?
