My Air Force textbook said the Dresden firestorm killed about 100,000 people.

I had been thinking in terms of some battles in the Civil War or World War II. But to compare what's happened to Korea or Vietnam is, of course, much more horrifying, considering the degree of national commitment and expense in thos places. It also compare to earthquake disaters in China and the Middle East.

I think that the United States may well get a lot of international cooperation in finding out exactly how this happened. This kind of action, need one hardly say, threatens every developed nation. I am pretty sure congress will give the FBI and the CIA everything they need to get the information. The CIA does still exist, doesn't it?
