Curtis LeMay sure figured it out. But it was the shock of the A-bombs that made the Japanese able to "save face" and surrender. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 3rd rate targets, and were about all that was left due to the previous B-29 fire bombing campaign. Still the Japanese couldn't surrender, due to their culture, until that shock.
I don't know what it's going to take to get the attention of the Islamic world, but we dang sure can't go on with the "can't we all just get along" charade many Democrats seem to want.
The French tried this during WWII. The next thing they know, they've got little stormtroopers paying them a visit. Marching up and down their streets just as pretty-as-you-please.
Typical of cowards.
