Firebombing of Dresden
#2013770 - 10/16/03 03:46 AM (20 years, 5 months ago) |

I'm mainly addressing this to Alex123 in his response to "our" use of chemical weapons in Vietnam, and our massive slaughter of innocents all throughout IRaq and Afghanistan (of course, he dosn't offer proof of this, but who needs proof!) My main quarrel with this is that the current administration had no hand in any warfare methods used back in Vietnam. The only pausible connection is Rumsfeld, and he was against the war. So, if past 'sins' of our government can be used against us, I'm going to do the same.
1945 -Dresden is firebombed by the RAF. three.. hundred... thousand.. Germans died there. So, I think that the British people, and especially their govnernment, deserve to pay fo rthis.

I think it is obscene what happened in the Second world war. But if we hadnt attacked Germany they would have been walking down our streets as an occupying force. Vietnam never posed that kind of threat to the US. Try again.

Bombing of Dresden was a war crime because it had nothing to do with the military strategy. But winners never pay for war crimes. BTW do you know who invented concentration camps? It's a British invention. In south Africa they fought Dutch rebels by putting their families (mostly women and children) in camps. 30.000 died. Our history is full of blood.

Evil scum. Nationalism is the cause of so many of the worlds problems as people turn a blind eye to attrocities commited by their "own" people as it screws with their own identity to admit that evil things have been done in their name. Burn all flags I say.

Although the British were responsible for what could be called the first concentration camp, concentrating a population in small area, in effect what concentraion camp is, is in no way a British invention.

You're misunderstanding the point johnny. The point is about making bellicose propaganda about Saddam "using chemical weapons" when you sold the chemical agents to him in the first place. And yep, British war crimes just as bad as Saddams.

If you haven't read it, you should read Slaughterhouse 5. It's a book about the Dresden firebombing by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. He was a prisoner of war in Dresden when it happened. There's other weirdness (it being a Kurt Vonnegut novel), but it's still one of the best anitwar novels ever written.
The US was also a major participant in that bombing.
If we're going to bring those up, how about the firebombing of Tokyo, 1945? Or the over 60 smaller cities in Japan that were firebombed later?
There's a long and nasty history there.
-------------------- Happy mushrooming!

"our" streets?
Just to make sure I understand your position, the ends justify the means, right? Thats not what you babble on about in other posts

I think you will find that I have consistently said I am against the use of force unless you are truly defending yourself. I dont quite understand what you mean by "our" streets?
I was merely stating that if we i.e the English had not gone to war with Germany then eventually they would have been walking down our streets as an occupying force. I thought that was fairly easy to understand.

WTF is that supposed to mean? Are you planning on turning the entire population of the Earth into some kind of Borg or something with cybernetic implants?

Sounds like he think we'll all wind up holding hands and singing Kumbaya. Or perhaps.... I'd like to buy the world a coke.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

No thats Star Trek baby. Its not real! By cult of the individual I mean the stage of human cultural evolution where a premium is placed on each persons supposed individuality to the detriment of the welfare of the whole. This sense of uniqueness is really an egoic illusion which was neccesary to move energy to a certain point but we are now in the transistion stage where its usefulness as the primary paradigmn is starting to fall apart and we will begin to think more as a whole. The internet is one of the precursors of this transition. I dont think it will mean radical changes in an individuals life but a small shift in everyones perception would have a massive change on the lifes of groups.

Hitler was actually quite receptive to the British, he believed we were both from "normadic descent" and should be fighting the Bolsheviks together.
