Yes, it *would* change my mind. I would think since you are advancing this argument, you would be the first to want hard numbers to indicate that the situations are comparable. Otherwise, nobody, not even people who agree with you on the war, will take you seriously. BTW, I have been willing to find the numbers....myself. I called up the Center for Military History in Washington D.C. (an arm of the federal government). I talked to an expert on the occuation and he dismissed the comparision as total nonsense. Unfortunately, he did not have numbers either.

Then you did not read the article(s) I posted to you yesterday or this morning. They are written by scholars who did not "laugh" at the comparisons but instead detailed in grisly accountings of how our soldiers were targeted and murdered in post-war Germany.

Read this. Watch for a History Channel which is DEVOTED to the subject of how our soldiers were targeted in post-war Germany.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/971040/posts
