The Nuking of Japan

[Anomalocaris]

As churchill said (admittedly about the Germans)

" The have sown the wind now they will reap the whirlwind "

Actually, it was Air Chief Marshal Arthur Harris who first said this publically about bombing the Germans, not Churchill

The difference is significant because Sir "Bomber" Harris was known even within Royal Airforce Bomber Cammand as "butcher Harris", for his fervent advocacy of attack upon civilians as the main objective, not unavoidable collateral, of the air war.
