Stinking wounds in America's heart? The entire war is a stinking wound in everyone's heart.

The attacks went beyond the norms of warfare, as did the firebombings of Germany and Japan. They had all the hallmarks of depravity.

Norms of warfare? Do you like how I'm taking a few words from your post and then putting a question mark after them? I think it's going to be my new style of posting.
Anyways, during WWII, bombings and the destruction of civilians certainly was the norms of warfare. It's despicable on retrospect, sure, but I think to paint it as 'abnormal' is a bit dishonest.
