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.

I didn't compare it to the Holocaust. That's ridiculous to assert that I did. I was commenting on both the author and Holocaust skeptics tendency to claim "it wasn't really that bad".

When they do it, it's considered hate speech; when this writer does it, it's considered legitimate debate.

I think neither subject should be off the table when it comes to historical debate nor should we allow either subject to fall into the hands of historical revisionists.
