What about Hiroshima? 50,000 dead, many more injured and irradiated for generations... almost all civilians?

 | |  |
|
|

But these Terrorist groups have declared war (or "jihad") on the US long ago?
|
|
|
 | |  |
| But they are stateless, they have no authority to start wars! "The purposeful targeting and then killing of civilians in peacetime or by stateless groups" | |
