		War planners in Washington don’t see them as the enemy: this is a war against a regime and its security apparatus, not the grunts in the field.
		As with the rest of the laws of war, this formula represents a hard-fought trade-off between military requirements and humanitarian concerns – and the result is a kind of calculated ambiguity.
		After the war, the Prosecutor of the War Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (which has jurisdiction over all actions committed within the old boundaries of the country) asked a committee of experts to advise whether this attack should be investigated as a war crime.

	Mistaken Memories :: Rob Ketcherside
		One is held by the constitution-backed pacifists, who view the war as another manifestation of the concept "all wars are evil," and for evidence point to the bombing of Hiroshima.
		Nationalists hold that the Pacific War was "not a war of invasion, but a war of survival," which Japan was forced into, by the threat of a Russian invasion of Manchuria, a desperate need for raw materials which were being denied her by the United States, and other factors.
		The fact that the majority of discussion on the war in Japan is conducted by "journalists, amateur historians, political columnists, civil right activists, and so forth," and not by scholars and professional historians, makes "irrational and unhistorical" accounts unavoidable.

	washingtonpost.com: Rules: Between Guerrilla Warfare and War Crimes
		What's more, they are war crimes, prohibited by The Hague regulations of 1907 and customary law -- the body of international law that binds all countries.
		Despite the contributions of irregular forces to the Allied war effort during World War II and their ruthless treatment by Axis captors, diplomats continued, even after the war, to set a high bar for irregular forces to qualify for POW status in any future conflict.
		Under the 1949 Geneva Convention dealing with prisoners of war, irregular forces qualify for POW status only if they belong to a party to an interstate armed conflict; operate under responsible command; wear a distinctive emblem recognizable from a distance; carry their arms openly; and conduct their operations in accordance with the laws of war.

	02.03.01: Just War Theory and the Wars of the 20th Century
		As a legitimate response to naked aggression on the part of the Axis powers, the war is probably the clearest example of a just war in the 20th Century.
		Strategic bombing in World War II essentially was a decision to kill people not because of their military role, but because of their nationality.
		The bomber pilots over Japan, for example, certainly could have known the probable effects of their actions, but they were assured of the military necessity of their missions and few people would contend even today that they were guilty of war crimes.

	Canadian Dimension / Articles » After the War (Howard Zinn)
		When you look at the endless series of wars of this century you do not find a public demanding war, but rather resisting it, until citizens are bombarded with exhortations that appeal, not to a killer instinct, but to a desire to do good, to spread democracy or liberty or overthrow a tyrant.
		In the Second World War, there was indeed a strong moral imperative, which still resonates among most people in this country and which maintains the reputation of World War II as „the good war.‰ There was a need to defeat the monstrosity of fascism.
		Terrorism became the justification for war, but war is itself terrorism, breeding rage and hate, as we are seeing now.
