Comparing 400 to ~110,000 is certainly one of the choices of all time. Pretty much all killing is heinous imo, especially in this instance, but could we leave the atomic bomb comparisons for elsewhere?

Yeah, if we use that comparison now, what are we going to do when they actually use an atomic bomb?
