Hi,
First, who are you responding to? Either use threaded response or quote the person.
Second, I realize you feel strongly about these topics, but shut your emotion down and bring your logic up. Otherwise all you post is crap.
By your reasoning, the Americans should carpet bomb Baghdad and kill as many of its citizens as possible
No. By any logic we should nuke the hell out of Baghdad -- just like we did in '91. Oh, wait. We didn't? Gee, how stupid of us.

Response to your edit: The purpose of bombing Dresden was similar to that of Bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki. To cause the leaders of the enemy to surrender the war. It worked in Japan, it didn't in Germany. In Japan it most likely saved many lives. In Germany, those lives (many of them German) were paid to Hitler's stubbornness. And that is the difference between Dresden and Auswitch -- one had a purpose the other was its own purpose.
But why bother? You remind me of a rabid animal rights person I met who took me to task for putting down my cat. In spite of the fat that the cat was dying and in pain, all that jerk could see was that I had it killed. Irrational is as irrational does.
