Is it fair/justifiable to destroy cities/citizens during a time of war?
No. Citizens live within the cities. And citizens are not a part of the direct battlefield.
Destroying cities where citizens dwell, during a time of war, is of the equivalency of destroying an orphanage because you do not want a particular boy or boys to be reunites with his parents because he was of an advantage to you. The Germans bombed London so that their supply factories could not issue weapons to them. (Which can be compared to the previous analogy.) In the process, many non-militarily involved citizens were killed. This shows that it is NOT justifiable to destroy citizens to gain an advantage in times of war.
