This is going to sound harsher than I intend it to, but I believe it's different to the tune of about 150,000 civilian deaths. I would imagine a firefight on a pacific island would be between soldiers. I'm not saying it was the right or wrong decision, but if Iraq detonated a bomb in new york and killed 150,000 civilian Americans I imagine people would describe it as an illegal act.
