You could make the comparison with Russia's actions towards Ukraine. Is it "just war" when Russia intentionally bombs children's schools and hospitals? Most countries are civilized enough to only target military targets during a war. It's also worth pointing out that modern missiles do not "accidentally" hit the wrong target, that's about as likely as shooting a gun and "accidentally" hitting your friend standing behind you.

Some estimates say over one million Iraqis were killed during the American invasion and occupation.

Americans aren't civilized, just entitled. (Yes, I'm an American)
