It was a tragic event in which thousands of civilians, many innocent, died. Simple as that. War is hell, true, and terrible things happen, but those of you cracking jokes about it, puffing up your chests and telling us all that you have no sympathy for the women and children that died screaming and burning, well...Not that you care but my respect for you drops.
May I remind you that our own holocaust is significantly larger and has gone on significantly longer than the one perpetrated by the Nazis...What have we done about it? Not enough. Not nearly enough.
