Good luck with that, but first you have to find a political leader who will even offer you the chance to vote democratically....

..can't have the people voting unless it's to agree with what the poli's want, can we?

...which in some ways brings us back to why Dresden got bombed in the first place.


There was a good line on the John Thaw drama about Bomber Harris, spoken after Dresden.

"They called us murderers. What would they have called us if we'd lost?"
Don't think Harris ever used those exact words, but it summarises the sentiment rather well.

I am also much in favour of asking the question - what other strategies would people have used to win the war?, and having those totalisers running of all the deaths to Jews, our troops etc. happening whilst they delayed.
