[Mark in the Old South]

You have been taking too many history courses taught by liberal professors. Dresden was a strategic industrial city, it was a legitimate target of the war effort. We did not have the pinpoint targeting of our bombers then.

It is a pitty but Dresden was not bombed because it had people only.

No, it was bombed when Germany was on its last legs, and was not bombed to take out factories no longer doing much, or relevant to anything. (If they really wanted to take out factories, they should have firebombed Essen.) It was bombed because Churchill wanted payback for the bombing of London.
