Really, do you need a reason to understand that bombing hospitals full of innocent civilians is a horrible thing?

I don't understand how being a horrible thing relates to this discussion. Things can be horrible and necessary at the same time. Things might even be horrible and the best course of action at the same time.

Consistently groups that do horrible, entirely excessive atrocities insist that they are necessary and vital. It does not mean that they are, and it's definitely something you should not assume blindly, or at all.

There needs a lot more than "might" to even begin to justify it. Then again, might alone is often used to get away with it.
