Oh Jesus. This is where I don’t get “you people”. Yes Dresden was questionable payback, but when your country suffered through the London Blitz, attempting to crush morale and prompt a quicker surrender isn’t a bad tactic. Oh, and one can argue that Dresden was a legit target as there WAS war industry factories in the city as well. (Queue the “Why Not Both?” Girl) Nagasaki happened because the Japanese didn’t surrender fast enough. It was a, “no, seriously, surrender” attack. To suggest it was just dropped to see what would happen if dropped on people is ludicrous. Note too, both cities were warned of the bombing before it happened.
But ok, you know, I wouldn’t even be posting a reply if it was just taking cheap shots at what one may view as excessive force in the bloodiest war in the last 100 years. But when you have the BALLS to type “Let’s be honest” and “head of the legitimate government of Syria”? HAHAHA.
In both the Syrian presidential election, 2000 and subsequent 2007 election, Bashar Assad received votes in his favor in the upper 90th percentile in uncontested elections where other candidates were not permitted to run against him
OH wait, wait. I am wrong. TECHNICALLY they had “two regime sanctioned candidates” run against him last “election”. My bad. Totally legit.
