It's pointless to minimize another group's suffering just because it doesn't rise to the level of your own.

It's just as pointless to trivialize another group's suffering by co-opting it for your own.

If you believe that RAF bombing runs on Germany were "morally equivalent" to the systematic gassing of millions of innocents, rounded up specifically because they were Jews, or Roma, or other "inferiors" then it's pointless to argue with you.

You trivialize evil by claiming that everything is evil.

Actually, everything in war is evil.

Never forget that.

Peace is much better, and war is only justified in self-defense.

You must remember dear Alouette... he is but a puppy, a baby.

He has no idea of real suffering and he is becoming an apologist for the evil of hitler and the nazis. By pretending to "understand" the suffering of Dresden, he equates it with the Holocaust of an innocent Jewish population.

There is no comparison. The Germans deserved to know the horrors of a war they caused and the horrors of a murderous campaign which they, the Germans, brought onto the heads of an innocent people... the JEWS.

And, then we haven't even mentioned the other murdered victims of her hitler's death machine... the Gypsies, the handicapped, the prisoners of war, the Christians, the underground fighters, the political prisoners and all the others. Such evil, evil doings and yet some people still deny its magnitude and attempt to lessen its evil by rationalizations.

Why am I not surprised? I am only surprised that is allowed to be posted on FR.

Regards to you.
