I dont remember any WWII correspondents giving Goebbels interviews and claiming the Allies were losing and had to review their battle plans.

Were there anti-war protestors in the streets across America then? NO. Were there Congressman liars like Rangle saying our troops were intentionally bombing women and children then? NO.

of course there were. america first, for one. the anti-war movement was substantially bigger and more organized then, in fact, than it is now.

Hate to break it to you but in WWII our troops did intentionally bomb women and children as part of a campaign to weaken the German and Japanese citizenry's will to fight. See Dresden and Hiroshima for the most extreme examples.

What is different about this war is that the US has explicitly said it would not target civilians. This is a revoultion (or more accurately a counter-revolution) in warfare that takes us back to a pre-Clauswitzian, pre-Machiavellian ethic that is much more in tune with St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas.
