Baaaaaa.... Baaaaaaa....

'Humane conflict effort ' as a substitute for the word 'War' is hysterical in any context, as long as you like black comedy.

'Humane war' is an oxymoron. Sure it was significantly less brutal than it could have been, but you're asking to discount questions of right and wrong is bizarre.

Even if it was right, it's a hell of stretch to use 'humane' as a word to describe the dropping of bombs. If it was wrong, then it's mass murder.

How about "In a total moral vaccuum and viewed purely as an excercise devoid of content, less people died than would have if other strategies were employed."

That's like saying the guy who runs over a single toddler was involved in a 'humane automobile accident' when compared with the guy who drove through the California market.'
