The British Bomber Command was primarily responsible for the intentional attacks on civilians.

In response to your comments let me say that the Germans began the tactic of intentionally bombing civilians over London in 1940.

Not at all that two wrongs make something right but when civlians are subjected to prolonged bombing campaigns as were the Britsh civilians as part of intentional campaign of terror, I believe it becomes imperative to re-consider tactics in taking
on an enemy as brutal, immoral as were the Nazis .

You are enttiled to your opinion, but I will not allow it to go unaddressed.

You disgrace the British Bomber Command specifically that of Sir Arthur Harris, Marshall of the Royal Force, in insinuating they were less than honorable.

Sir Arthur Harris was a war hero as far as I'm concerned and to malign the Bomber Command and Sir Harris in terms that are anything less than the exemplary honor and heroism they deserve is to demonstrate a myopic, prejudicial, historically revisionist point of view that is an insult to those who gave their lives so that you can express your comments without consequence or actual basis in fact, for that matter.
