<You've already basically stated that you would have declared US actions during WWII as a war crime> Some actions we undertook in WWII were indeed highly questionable. The intentional fire bombings of civilians stands out in my mind. These were no ordinary fires. More properly, these were firestorms that turned the wooden homes of hundreds of thousands of people into blazing outdoor human barbeques covering many square miles. If you listen carefully you might still hear the screams of the dying children, their flesh ablaze as the oxygen is sucked from their lungs by the firestorm around them. We cooked tens of thousands of woman and children alive each day we conducted these fire bombings in a manner no less depraved of humanity than the ovens into which Jews were so cruelly cast. You applaud this sort of mass murder. I don't. These fires were pure evil, just as the ovens in Germany were pure evil, and just as the torture and war crimes you promote are evil. I don't promote war crimes or torture by anybody. I denounce these uncivilized acts and urge people to speak up with me to denounce them.
