    Hume's Ghost

    "Actually, the British did the bulk of bombing of German civilian areas in WWII. The American air support came later in the war and the US command was more strict about targeting military targets and avoiding civilian facilities."

    --Hume's Ghost

    I don't want to go on too much of a historical tangent, HG, but google American, bombing, and Dresden. Then tell me how "strict" we were about confining our German bombing to military targets.
