For USA, bombing people is standard operating procedure and has been going on since Lincoln at the very least.
Killing civilians has been in the forefront of US military policy since Lincoln when General Sherman pronounced it as:
"extermination, not of soldiers alone, that is the least of the trouble, but the people" .... "We are not fighting against enemy armies, but against an enemy people, both young and old, rich and poor, and they must feel the iron hand of war in the same way as organized armies."
Around 1902 in another attempt to "clean" for "world order"
US General Jacob H. Smith tells the commanding officer of the Marines assigned to clean up the island of Samar, Philippines:
"I want no prisoners.
I wish you to kill and burn;
the more you kill and burn the better it will please me."
He orders that the entire island of Samar be converted into a "howling wilderness." He specifically orders that all males over the age of ten are to be shot. Step one is to burn the town of Balangiga to the ground.
This is what the US has done to the Indians, Germany, Japan, Viet Nam, Panama, Fallujah, Libya, Yugoslavia, Korea, Syria and many other places, yes?
"We are..."at "the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where..." Officialdom "is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."
