It is wrong to target civilians no matter if they're on the "bad" side or not.  I understand the reasoning for doing it at the time, but it costed the lives of thousands of airmen and there wasn't much strategic benefit to it.  Its hard for me to judge the decisions of those back in WWII because it was an unprecedented war and was dragging on so the allies were understandably looking for any way to gain advantage.  Lean yes though.
