WOW!
Maybe the average civilian in either country has little or no say in what it's government does...such as North Korea.
You are quite a piece of work, Bertie.

Kind of like Canada and it's big brother to the south, eh?

If, somehow, the allies had lost that war, Bomber Harris and Curtis
LeMay would have been in the dock at the Hague. We clearly targeted
civilians in Germany and Japan.

Why is targeting civilians in a war between nations a bad thing?

It is a war crime, prosecuted against the losers. Hermann Goring was
sentenced to death for the same thing Harris and LeMay did.



Goering wasn't prosecuted for civilian bombings for that very reason.
It wasn't considered a war crime.
Goering had other blood on his hands. Plenty.

Göring was prosecuted for war crimes and for crimes against humanity.
He committed suicide.
