Was the firebombing of Dresden in '45 a war crime?

Yes!

Do you know about Operation Paperclip

I knew about the program...didn't know what it was called.

Unit 731

I knew about the Japanese experiments on humans. Didn't know, once again, what it was called.

Why is this particular war crime getting so much attention? Because it's happening now. Because if people like us don't speak up, then we are a part of it. We can't do much, but we can stick our heads up and try. I think the outrage has put a stop to this one episode. Maybe small in the history of crimes, but not small to the few people whose lives we might save by making noise.

I don't want to change the world, because I can't, but maybe we can do one small thing to help a few people here and there. Have to settle for that, I think. We simply can't give up.

You can see that I controlled myself in this blog. I did not write with emotion or passion. That doesn't mean I don't feel it.
