Nagasaki and Hiroshima were not occupied cities. They were cities in an enemy nation.
Raqqa was captured by ISIS 3 years ago. The citizens did not support ISIS, they were terrorized by ISIS.
Not a valid comparison.
There has been much less destruction of the cities in Syria than in Iraq’s battles. The last thing needed is towns so destroyed they will never be rebuilt. That means long term refugee camp living. ( Some have already been in such places for over 6 years.)
Again, while your heart may indeed be in the right place, it is high time that we send these present-day bad actors who act in the name of their Allah, into the past for the sake of the future. It’s long-past the time for negotiations. Unfortunately, life AND death are not necessarily “fair”. Winning by any means necessary may involve some of that so-called unfairness, especially when our sworn enemy(s) are willing to go that far against us in the first place.
