It is unfortunate people know so little of history, or they would know just how extreme the destruction of Japan was. We could never get away with doing in Iraq, what was done in Japan. I don't even think we could get away with doing to Japan what was done to Japan, in this more modern age of new reporting. People in the US would not stand for the incineration of women and children, or at least I don't think they would. ........ Message 20917716 a link that gives some idea of just how demoralizing and destructive the bombing campaign of Japan was. I believe some cities were more than 70% destroyed. Major cities like Tokyo suffered horrendous damage. Not only did our bombing weaken Japan, but long costly foreign adventures had also weakened it- and so, sadly, the demoralization and defeat of the Japanese has very little to tell us about Iraq (unless we want to bomb the cities of Iraq to oblivion).
