Context: The discourse around this. Plenty of libs who think terror bombing is okay if it's for a good cause.

PS: Arguments that the bombings had proportional military goals could be true (though I doubt it) but not really relevant to the point, because a good number of libs do assume it's terror bombing and apologize accordingly.
