i tend to place less value on human compassion...it was necessary at the time. i can think of a few other locales that could use similar treatment right now.
I'm not sure what you mean by that, I think your trying to say you don't experience empathy for people.
It depends on what your definition of 'necessary' is.
I don't believe it was necessary to achieve a military victory over Germany. You might feel it was necessary to exact some form of retribution, or as a political statement.
To be honest we have to label the bombing of Dresden for what it was, which was the intentional and wholesale slaughter of non-combatants. At the time they felt this was a necessary, and to some degree it would certainly have hampered the civilian war production efforts.
Frankly at this point though everyone knew the war was lost for Germany, I'm not sure what burning little girls to death achieved.
