I will respond for him:

1) higher stakes than with Al Qaeda
2) lacked the technology to avoid killing civilians
3) If you have seen "the fog of war" documentary about Robert McNamara, I highly recommend it. He said "the only reason I wasn't prosecuted as a War Criminal after WWII was because we won."

Morality goes to the winner.
