Now a parallel would be to someone who wanted all those folks in Dresden burned-up, thinking it's necessary and desirable, calling them bugs, etc.
Boy you guys sure as hell read a lot more into my posts that I wrote there. Listening to a Afghanistan vet he probably nailed it. He said sure I hated the Taliban, if you don't hate your enemy you are as good as dead.

Most of the stuff we did during WW II was necessary, Dresden was criminal and a payback for Coventry. As it turned out after the war Coventry was just an incompetent navigator.

Tell me John, DQ and Tom could you look down the barrel of a rifle at an enemy combatant and with love and goodwill in your heart pull the trigger? I sure as hell could not as I am not that screwed up.
