3. Civilian deaths, while numerous, are greatly exaggerated by the activists. The chaos of war makes counting difficult, but casualties have been “estimated” at up to 250,000. De Bruhl argues that 25,000 is a more realistic figure, with 35,000 the maximum. At least 50,000 residents worked in producing war material.

Sounds like he's engaging in the same kind of rationale that holocaust skeptics are. Except I don't hear any Germans screaming "Never again"!

The bombing of Dresden may be compared to our bombing of Japan or Germany's bombing of Britain, but to compare it to the Nazis' systematic attempt to annihilate an entire people (civilians, women, children) who were not at war with them is absolutely obscene. And I'm far from being a "holocaust liberal."

Shame on you.
