No. Possibly if there were an actual world war going on, but as an opening attack? Hah.
eta probably you were not asking that with any seriousness and I am just tired and didn't pick up on it. because no one could ask that with any seriousness.

And I ask it with entire seriousness. Do we hand-wring, fret and worry about "collateral damage" (see Vietnam, now) or do we go after the enemy with fury and desire to win (see union army, WWII)?
By saying "if there were an actual war going on" - you actually mean "should we retaliate if attacked"?
And having watched an "opening attack" first hand, I honestly have no moral problem whatsoever with pre-emptively leveling an entire city and killing everything that moves if they're trying to get us first.
