78. Ends justify the means arguments are always bullshit.
Making a deliberate choice to take a act that is a mass killing of civilians is wrong. All the what ifs about "ending the war" or how many would have died by some other means is totally irrelevant and does nothing to excuse an act over which our country DID have control.

The fact that other people did bad things is completely irrelevant to how we act.
