RE: Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki

"Civilians" who support a murderous regime during wartime are fair targets. This is how lessons are learned. Although I agree that it might have cost more Allied lives up front, the peace that was won has lasted generations.

I don't hear any Japanese or Germans screaming "Death to America!" (except for their wacko left. Same as here). In fact, just the opposite. Both of those countries have been blasted into extreme pacifism.

Tikrit, and any other Sunni cesspool should be flattened. If the attacks continue, keep flattening. Muslims understand savage, brute force even more than the Germans or the Japanese.

So I guess the civilians who supported the Stalinist regime deserved to die without question at the hands of the Germans? All those "communists" they killed got blurred in with Jews, Russians, Ukraninas, Poles, Gypsies?

But let's give the Germans credit at least. They at least had the guts to kill their men, women, and children at ground level where they could see it first hand and had to deal with it.

We just fire bombed cities day and night, let them starve, and then let the Russians or Chinese use them as slave laborers for years in which most never returned!
