Sorry... the South lost. That's what happens to losers in war - they get hurt. It can't be any other way.

Was Shock and Awe immoral in Iraq because innocent people were killed? Was the bombing of Dresden (a case of arson far worse than anything Sherman did) immoral?

No... there should be no expectation that a war will be fought gently.

Hey, you've convinced me- I'm an ends-justifies-the-means kinda guy, and Might does make Right. And if it doesn't, who the hell cares? The other side are Losers.

The bombing of Dresden was immoral. City = target, great swaths of the city together with its population indiscriminately incinerated. God will judge. It doesn't matter who does it. It's wrong.

One of the downfalls of the south was that Lee refused to fight the war as dirty as the Union was fighting it. He missed opportunities because of it.

Yes, Dresden was immoral. Mass, intentional murder of babies always is.
