Dresden sticks in the mind of the Krauts in a way that infuriates the hell out of me. Oh sure, start the worst war in history. Launch a six year cataclysm humanity barely survives, introduce the world to ‘’total war’’ , bomb civilian targets, perpetrate the worst crime in human history and bitch and moan and call yourself the victim when your enemy pays you back in spades.

"Dresden sticks in the mind of the Krauts in a way that infuriates the hell out of me."

You're not alone on that one. It galls me that even to this day, the bombing of Dresden is spoken of as an unnecessary use of force by the Allies.

Kinda like the Japanese complaining of Hiroshima/Nagasaki after what they did in China, the Bataan Death March, Pearl Harbor, etc.

IF you don't think you can win the war don't start one.

But if you do and you lose, don't cry about how bad you got your tail whipped.

Murder --- the targeted or intentionally indiscriminate killing of innocent human life --- is murder, no matter who does it. Man or woman. Medico or military. Ally or enemy. Targeting an entire city, together with its inhabitants, crowded with civilians who were refugees of other bombings, for total incineration, is murder.

That's how we even "know" that abortion is murder. Because it is intentional, without concern with whether the individual victims, however many, merit execution.
