Just thought I'd share this with you. I also posted this on another forum (no names or forums mentioned to protect the innocent!!) as a current news item. Well someone kind of went off on it. This is what he had to say. My reply follows.
I don't understand how you could debate such a thing. it happened 60 years ago!!! i say to just let it rest. The bombing of Dresden may have been a mistake, but why waste time debating? As I said, it did happen 60 years ago, its history, its already happened, you can't go back in time and stop it from happening. let those people of Dresden rest in peace, let the town just be a regular town, let the people be regular people. I think they want to forget that their parents and grandparents died so horribly, so whay bring it back to their minds by debating? so, in conclusion i say, lets these people live regular lives and try and let them live in peace so that they can still live prosperously and happily. So don't depress them by bringing back such horrible memories, just let them live in peace.
My reply:
You got me all wrong. I was introducing this because it was an article posted this week. Everything taken here is directly from the author, not me. I am not debating this issue, just showing that many people are still talking about it and contesting the idea.
If we treated all topics that way, then you'd have to say that all WWII is past history and shouldn't be brought up for debate and discussion. Well there wouldn't be any WWII forums.
Just displaying the current events of the day.
