Indeed, but it's not black and white and I will never celebrate the loss of life, no matter who they are, civilians are barely involved in the acts of war, yet are the ones who face the consequences of the crimes that their militaries commit. The bombs were necessary, but, they were also horrific, as was the fallout effect from the radiation.
