It doesn't, I was just pointing out that if atrocious military actions means that you can't say anything good about a person there are a lot of leaders included in that.

>Anyway, this was different. Merv had surrendered. FDR was bombing cities that were still participating in a war against the Allies.

Merv has surrendered, but the war wasn't over. It wasn't just mindless killing, it was for a military objective.

>Another factor that makes these incomparable is that the Mongol army killed all these people with swords and spears, not unguided bombs. That means the civilians were killed deliberately.

You don't target enemy military assets with fire bombings.

>It may be small comfort for the civilians killed by bombing runs during WW2 that they were collateral damage, but the intention to kill civilians tells us something about the moral character of the Mongol army.

The motivation for it wasn't to kill civilians, it was always for military reasons.
