I am just sorry the Allies did not do a lot more Dresden type bombings on other German cities. They certainly deserved it.
They did. Hamburg was turned to ashes fairly early in the war.
Ever heard of Hamburg?
If this author is correct that "only" 30,000 "or so" died at Dresden, the losses at Dresden were less than the losses at Hamburg.
Operation Gomorrah , the series of attacks over about a week in late July 1943 killed over 50,000, destroyed a quarter-million houses, and left over a million homeless.
This also seems to be one of the earliest recorded instances of an artificial "firestorm". The streets themselves caught fire. When air-raid shelters were opened well after the attack, the people who had taken refuge in them were melted into greasy puddles on the floor.
It's covered in far greater detail in Martin Caidin's book The Night Hamburg Died, which I've read.
