It could also be that Feb 1945 was prime tourist season for the Germans and consequently they were touring the cathedrals and museums in Dresden; which would explain why the city was swollen with civilians.
That is quite a different statement from "The allies intentionally tried to lure civilians into Dresden so they bomb the s**t out of them."

And I await the specific names of sources that support that claim.

And it occurred to me you've made a few statements requiring support yourself:
And what have you shown me supporting the statement the Reagan bankrupted the Soviets with SDI?
Care to show there was no buildup? Or that the Soviet economy was on the brink of collapse when Reagan took office as you previously claimed?

And I await the specific names of sources that support that claim.
No expansion of the Soviet ABM system.
That is simply stupid, jttmab. OF COURSE the Soviets were not themselves going to violate the ABM treaty when they were trying to persuade the US to stick to it.

How about a synopsis of your case of the dominance of the US in technical and economic innovation?
Would you care to demonstrate European dominance? Or dominance by anyone else?

And you say breaking that Nobel data into ten year blocks shows US decline recently. There is such a thing as statistical fluctuation. Noise. You know that.
