Gravitymaster 0 #28 February 11, 2003 QuoteQuoteOh, please Bill. To make that kind of a comparison is just ludicrous. We were attacked by the Japanese. Up until that point, we hadn't entered WW2. QuoteNot officially, but we were arming and supplying the allies, had "unofficial" pilots in China fighting the Japanese and had instituted economic sanctions against Japan which they considered an act of war. We weren't exactly neutral. QuoteThen by your reasoning France, Germany and China are supporting terrorism and we would be justified in attacking them. QuoteNo matter how many lives it may have saved, it doesn't change the fact that we deliberately targeted civilians for death. Not to mention the bombing of Dresden. QuoteThe sad part is that is what war is about. It's about defeating your enemy, plain and simple. QuoteThe allies killed 500,000 in a single night. There were no military targets in Dresden whatsoever. QuoteAs I have said, war isn't about playing nice. It's about defeating the enemy. I really don't know where this idea came from that war was supposed to be fair. Have you considered the atrocities carried out on innocent civilians by the Germans and Japanese? QuoteThey made porcelain china plates and had a large artistic population. Because of the lack of military targets, that's where the German's sent 600,000 additional women, children and wounded so that they wouldn't become "collateral damage" when we bombed military targets. QuoteOh, you mean while the Germans burned and tortured innocent Jews?
