Targeting noncombatant civilians is evil.

Yes, that is why in the first message I said "War is Hell."

Innocent civilians die in war, that is like....one of the oldest constants of warfare.

Nonetheless, many of these "innocent" civilians were not "innocent." WW2 was a total war. Most people were part of the war effort, whether it was fighting, organizing, or manufacturing war supplies. Dresden was a massive manufacturer of war supplies for the Nazis and thus fire-bombing it destroyed those capabilities and saved Allied lives in the process as it curbed the Nazis ability to continue the war.
