I just reviewed a video on the life and times of America's B-52 Aircraft. On the one hand this 50 year old bomber has helped us win several wars. On the other hand, it was, in it's day, the the most effective destroyer of innocent humanity ever conceived by man.
From high in the air we (Americans) exterminated untold numbers of non-combatant men, women and children. Our history books usuallyrefer to this as "collateral damage". Isn't that like saying' "a few Jews were killed during the Holocaust"? Carpet bombing with no specific target must be the very, very last resort. It should be considered no different than the use of nuclear bombs !
