Western culture tends to avoid excessive carnage, violence and anniahlation of the enemy during armed conflict. What about WWI and WWII dont you think that these wars were both excessive as far as carnage and violence? Carpet bombing entire cities by both sides, rounding up entire populations for extermination, I think the West knows more about Total war then any one else. How about Sherman's march throught the South? Very mild wasn't it.

I think the West knows more about Total war then any one else. How about Sherman's march throught the South? Very mild wasn't it. Not so. America lost less than a million soldiers. Russia lost 25 million and is still recognized as the righteous winner of the war just because of that. Had the Russian gotten their hands on atomic bombs before us, it would have been even worse. Casualties caused by the West were minor compared to Soviet Occupation right after 1945, a continuing WWII for Stalin that we did not dare fight. And that says it all. The West uses the steel to plow the land, the East uses the steel to plow the steel into weapons.
