For all the hand-wringers out there that speak about "disproportinate response":

This excerpt from David Horowitz' essay:

"The allied bombings of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki incinerated hundreds of thousands of civilians for military reasons".

"The allied bombings were designed to break the morale of the enemy and to end the war, and save millions of lives. They did, and we can all be grateful for that (or at least the honest among us can)".
