100,000 dead in hiroshima was not 'murder,' it was an act of war. Manslaughter is not murder either, yet the victim is still dead. Accidental death is not murder either, but dead is dead. Choosing to address the folks in Hiroshima as murdered, how about the folks in Pearl Harbor? What were they? Murdered?
No, killed in an act of war. Save 'murder' for the courtroom and the police blotter.
Once again, your sterile context and willingness to write off the emotional element of a nation at war, ignores the reality of war as it has been waged for millenia.

Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the Men 'O War!
