Someone else can supply the whys-and-wherefores about Dresden.

You already said it: a wartime decision, in a war the Brits did not start, against a murderous regime.

Hindsight says Dresden was an unnecessary and unnecessarily brutal attack but General Hindsight was not on duty at the time.

Even without "General Hindsight", such a large and cruel operation had to have some rationale at its time. What was it?

Hiroshima is another story. Soviet troops were defeating Japanese army on the land and America provided Japanese government tangible argument to the population for a speedy capitulation before United States. The division of Germany was not affected by destruction of Dresden (which ended up in Soviet zone) so I wonder what was the real reason.

Sorry, pal, aculeus doesn't engage in wasteful arguments about the past.

So you restrict yourself to the discussion of the future, yes? (Present is continuously changing in the past, you know).

# 5: I believe it is just as you posted it. It is so obvious to the observant, that only those who choose not to see the truth are decieved.

"The demonstration was organized and sponsored by the France-Palestine Solidarity Organization, the Human Rights League, the Anti-Racism Movement, the Communist and Green parties, organizations of the extreme left and workers unions."

All the usual suspects
