Notably, strategic air power (i.e. mass civilian bombing) is likely rather ineffective [1]. That makes both the nuclear bombs and the firebombings horrible tragedies.

Civilian casualties were not a huge concern when waging war for anyone (and certainly not for the Japanese military!) so bringing that up is anachronistic thinking.
