16. Kurt Vonegut was a POW in Dresden while it was being bombed
Edited on Thu May-05-05 02:55 PM by KurtNYC
He talks about it 'Slaughterhouse 5'

I went to Dresden last year and it was deeply disturbing. The city is known for porcelain and had no military targets. The interiors of buildings were full of wood carvings from 17th century. The British bombed it with phosphorous specifically to burn it all. Horrible.

But do I think any group of humans can point the finger at another group over acts like this? No. All war is terror. God help us all.
