Do you understand what a ‘bot’ is?

The firebombing of Tokyo and Dresden had no justification except to cause casualties and terror among the people.
The same goes for the rape of Nanking (already mentioned) or the slaughter of millions of civilians by Axis forces during the war.
Both sides used terror tactics and if anyone thinks the Japanese wouldn't have done the same to our cities if they had the chance, they're fools.
On the other hand the use of the atomic bombs, however terrible the act was, saved millions of lives, both Japanese, Allied, and civilians in occupied areas.
I used to know a Dutch guy who, as a kid - emphasis KID - spent years in a Japanese prison and saw the cruelty daily. He said using the nukes saved his life and those of countless others.
Oh, and the "filth" my father has caused? To spend his life as a GP helping others.

Pearl Harbor was a military target.
The Tokyo Fire Bombing was cowardly terrorism against civilians. Totally shameful and inexcusable.
