The Germans and the Japanese were human beings too, and I'm sure the vast majority were hard working decent folk, that cared first about the basics of daily life, and we still had to kill them by the millions to win WW2.

___WW2 analogies don't apply...no country has invaded us or declared war....this is more difficult than your boneheaded analogy to a totally different type of conflict.

A)nd it is isn't clear that firebombing civilians shortened WW2)

Yes countries have - declared war on US. We just refuse to declare war on them! Iran and Syria have declared war on us through their use of terrorism. If somebody starts shooting at you, but doesn't shout out that they want to kill you, that doesn't mean they don't want to kill you

Trust me, they do.

Syria and Iran are and have been for years, on the State Department's List of countries that sponsor terror. They are presently attacking this country by attacking our troops in Iraq and supporting those who do with more and more advanced technology everyday. They attacked this country in 1993 at the WTC. They attacked this country when they bombed our embassies, the USS Cole and the WTC again on 9/11.

Yes they are - invading us through the border that our President continues to strive to maintain uncontrolled in a time of war.

As for firebombing the civilian population not having an effect on ending WW2 - if you have a problem with firebombing, may I suggest nuclear bombing, apparently their should be less doubt IN YOUR MIND about the effectiveness of that in ending WW2.

You are right that this is a totally different type of conflict than WW2. A MUCH EASIER ONE.

We don't have over ten million professional trained German and Japanese troops, nor thousands of planes nor tanks nor ships to contend with. A large part of our Pacific Fleet has not just sunk.

We just have punks with RPGs, supported by Iran and Syria, which are two countries that have no nuclear weapons and whose military are no match for US.

But we do have another thing to contend with. That is those people who do not have the will to fight like this country did all out in WW2 but instead want to fight like we did during NAM.
