Eighty per cent of all the bombs in World War II fell in the last ten monthsof the war during which the British, for instance, decided to bomb residentialareas with the argument that this would foreshorten the war. The US borrowedthis logic at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but only after the USAF firebombed Tokyoon 8 May (General Curtis LeMay who directed the operations, said "we knewwe were going to kill a lot of women and kids when we burned that town. Had tobe done"). On 13 February 1945, the RAF killed 100,000 in Dresden; on 6August 1945, the USAF killed 100,000 instantly in Hiroshima (another 100,000died over the course of the next year). Two days later, the Soviets, theBritish, the French and the US signed the Nuremberg principles - an act of utterhypocrisy. A "war crime" (article VI) is specifically defined by theseprinciples as the "wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages, ordevastation not justified by military necessity." No action was takenagainst the signatories, now the guardians of the new world order.
