The target in WW2 oftern was the civilians and killing 30,000 was considerd a great sucsess!

As for the modern press haveing a field day if one civilian was killed.....there was not a huge field day and it was a few more than one....*goes off to find civilian death toll for initial Iraqi invasion*
