I actually agree with you Locus.  Do you think collateral damage is acceptable?  That is, we hit strategic targets regardless of the civilian casualties that may occur.  I believe this is acceptable but targeting civilians is not.

It happens!

Yes. I will say that I believe it is acceptable, simply because I do not think it is absolutely unacceptable. If, for example, we are targeting a military training complex (or other such thing), there may be civilian employees around, or targeting of high profile enemy combatants may result in the loss of life of civilians in proximity to the target, that may be a result of "war is hell" but certainly not unacceptable, in that we shouldn't not go after the target because civilians might be around.  

Generally atomic bombs would be targeting civilians and should definitely be avoided (for that and many other reasons), unless all hell breaks loose, and if that happens then we're all up creek without a paddle anyways, and all bets are off.
