Like the bombing of Hiroshima, the bombing of Dresden served as both revenge and warning to its country. The Nazis had been able to building up Dresden, and make it a hub of the German operations, by telling its populace that Dresden would not and could not be bombed -- in part because an unidentified cousin of Churchill lived there (I am not sure if they were referring to a nephew who was a prisoner at Colditz Prison a very considerable distance away).

The British, who had not forgotten the terror bombings of the London blitz, including the wanton destruction of Coventry, were quite willing to give tit for tat to Dresden. Coming after the German defeats in Stalingrad and the like, this prolonged bombing of Dresden in February 1945, was meant to demonstrate to the German people that their country was losing the war, that their defenses were inadequate, and so forth, to hasten a German surrender.

By focusing on one German city - a city which had been uncommonly prosperous during the War - the Allied attack may have facilitated the avoidance of many more deaths if the German morale had not been lowered.

They killed mostly women and children and old people. There's no excuse for it. Not then, not now. Using Hiroshima as an example doesn't really help your argument either. It's an atrocity.

So, stripping away the excuses and justifications, you think mass murder of of civilian populations is a good thing - when it is done by people you approve of.
