And yet you've brought up morality issue here, despite my request not to =)

If it was the moral choice.

The moral choice isn't always made based on moraliy, however that doesn't change the fact that it is the most moral of all the available actions and by far the best and most justified choice.

Again remind me why exactly we're arguing? You've basically agreed with me on two points I'm trying to make: 1) decision "to bomb, or not to bomb" was based on matters other than morality; 2) bombings by themselves weren't much of military necessity. Your perception of the fact as moral or not is of little interest to me here, since it's pointless to argue - there's always a "shield" of personal opinion.

Point 2.  You are holding the bombings to a higher standard then the other 2 options.  It's a logical fallacy that assumes that option A is less moral then B or C without any factual basis.  You are the one using the "shield" of personal opinion.

One of the three options was a military nessessity, and the one they went with was by far the one  that had the best consequences for all.  That is a fact. 

Furthermore to now say don't care about personal opinion itself is hypocritical since by your same judgement the first statement you made was itself, an opinion.
