My personal feelings are that it would do no good to go down this road & apportion blame for bombing civilians or anything else. Others might well disagree. What's done is done which I think we all agree is regrettable to say the least. Although these events happened some 60 years ago & the world has since moved on, the subject still distresses many people.

While this is the case it's impossible to discuss some aspects dispassionately. If anyone wants to find the statistics for themselves I'm sure a quick search would tell them all they wish to know. Wink

Meanwhile, war has changed & civilians are now in the front line, being killed & horribly injured almost every day. Cry

Quite so, mate. This is one of the more unfortunate aspects of war in a modern era. Sad

There was a time when those that fought, risked death, but those that did not, had nothing to fear, at least not from the fighting itself. Undecided

The figures that we've compared (military versus civilian) in the two largest conflicts in the last 100 years, indicate all too well, the fact that this is no longer the case. Cry

bombing civilians was all about destroying the morale of the country. If the morale of the country was so so low, then a dictator or military leader has no influence even over his own people. Im not condoning what has been done but if you were faced with the possiblility of a long drawn out conflict, you would be desperate to break the morale and a country in anyway possible.
