Dresden was a city. The Allies turned it into glass. What was evil again? Evil is the bad guy in a television show about wars that never happened.

Proof that the human race kills each other just fine without nuclear weapons. Not that you anti-abolitionists should take that to mean that the world is any better with nuclear weapons. Instead, think of it like this; if we can do so well with convetional weapons, just imagine what we could do with nukes. The possibilities are as endless as the aisles of Wal-Mart and twice as mind numbing.

As to the title of this thread, anyone interested in reading an acid-trip freakshow fantasy depiction of the firebombing should pick up one of Vonnegut's seminal works, Slaughterhouse-5.

I'll pick it up next.

Basically Dresden was the Allies's retaliation for the horror Hitler unleashed upon London. It was a direct attack upon the civilians of Germany, nothing more. This article is very sketchy, but if you read around war history some, you'll uncover more of the truth. Although if you want to look up a bigger "Holocaust" caused by the Allies, look for subjects detailing the American B-29 Fire Bombings of Japanese cities. Several hundred thousand at least were killed in those raids.

Harker is right actually. Japan was a country made of wooden buildings, and they burned like a forestfire when the Americans came with the bombs. Right to the ground. Japan industrialized and integrated itself into Americana, making itself a sort of outpost of western society in the east, so quickly because they had to rebuild their entire country from the ground up on top of a field of ashes.

When I first read that post I thought Gash said Hitler was right.

I was really worried there for a minute.
