In a major war like that, there is no such thing as a civilian, if you are
not fighting in the military then you are working at home to build ships and
weapons, or pack food for the troops.
Just because they were not fighting doesn't mean they aren't supporting the
war effort.

By the time of Hiroshima the world already knew about Aushwitz and the
Japanese massacres in China right? So Hiroshima was seen as
regrettable but morally necessary, is my take on that. Whereas the
necessity of Iraq is being very much questioned.

As for civilian casualties, you only have to look at those when the Atom
bombs
were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and made the Japanese realize that
we
were bent on exterminating their entire race unless they capitulated, which
they
did. Where were the outcries then? There were very few because the world
victims of the Japanese juggernaut were even worse off.
