Nope, it can't. Like I said, I regard the bombing of Dresden, the looting, killings and rapes committed by the Red Army in Germany, the massacre of Japanese POWs in Borneo by our troops, the abandonment of the Polish Resistance by the USSR to all be major warcrimes committed by Allied powers. The firebombings of Tokyo could be on the list, although I do appreciate some level of necessity to those attacks, unlike Dresden and other raids that were carried out way past the time at which they were necessary or made any difference.
I remember when I saw MacNamara being interviewed about his role as a damage assessor for the USAF in the War, he pointed out that if he were on the losing side, he probably would have been put on trial for calculating that more bombs were needed to comprehensively destroy this many homes etc.
