As I posted before. I am glad I am not in charge. I don't have any easy answers. Condemn me all you want I guess.

I'm not condemning you. And I'm not sure there *are* any "easy answers". I was just pointing out that it's easy to fall into double standards if we're not careful.

How many planes and crews were lost in the Dresden raid? How many were lost in the Tokyo Raid? How many Americans were killed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Actually, we cannot compare the two. It was estimated that a million people would die in an invasion of Japan. The two nukes actually saved lives. There is still an ongoing controversy about the morality of Dresden.

I still stand by my statement that I am glad I am not in charge. However, I cannot advocate the use of nuclear weapons.
