I don´t think that dropping big bombs would be the right thing to do. That would send the wrong signals to the civilian population - we want to win their hearts and minds, in order so they stop hating us. Dropping bombs didn´t help in Germany or Japan - handing out candy to the kids and care packages to the people did. Oh, I´m distracting. WW2 is way too different to be compared with the war on terrorism, let alone the cultural differences.
“Dropping bombs didn´t help in Germany or Japan ..”
remember Hiroshima?
