    This is the case in War of the Worlds, and Wells does not beat around the bush about it (very unfortunate bit of wording aside):

    And before we judge of them too harshly we must remember what ruthless and utter destruction our own species has wrought, not only upon animals, such as the vanished bison and the dodo, but upon its own inferior races.

Are we such apostles of mercy as to complain if the Martians warred in the same spirit?
