That is one - rather bizarre - way of looking at things. I would
suggest that in fact the reason people are able to be more concerned
about collateral damge is because a) they are more aware of it and b)
the stakes are much lower. With the immoral bombing actions of the
Second World War a genuine case can be made for it protecting the
bombing nation (although I am not sure that personally I would try to
make such a case) whereas no such similar case can be made today.

i think that now, more than ever, a case can be made for no more war.
the people in these mideast countries are being kept in poverty,
despite their fantastic wealth in oil. people are so full of rage and
desperate for work, that they join terrorist organizations. many
become martyrs simply so their families will be fed.
was it really necessary to fire bomb dresden? did america really need
to use the a-bomb on densely populated cities? was the alternative to
invade japan, or were there other choices? what role do governments
have in going to war when the solution might be to find a way to give
people in these countries hope?
