Right-O.......Maybe "cool" is a wrong choice of word on my part.................I've never been known for my sensitivity.

War is politics by other means, however we seem to be reversing the direction and using politics as war by other means. 'Cool' may be the right word as in "What a cool horror movie." :D

History? No they don't remember.:(

London was sporadically firebombed, it did not suffer a firestorm like Dresden.

It is one thing to have buildings burning, it is another to have a fire that is so powerful that it generates gale force winds sucking the oxygen right out of the city. Many people were suffocated during the firestorm attacks that were not anywhere near the fire.

Personally I would prefer the flash death of a nuke to the coughing choking death of a firestorm.
thanks, John. [/B][/QUOTE]

And no one talks about the burning of Japan's cities, just the nukes.

If I were going to go and I was in the immediate death zone of the nuke, I would agree. The problem with the above is that with a Nuke:

1) there is generally a Firestorm effect following if enough flammable material is present in the 'ignition zone', and so there is also the possiblity of "coughing choking death of a firestorm"

2) there is always a varying level of radiation exposure, so that a very large number of people die by either a lethal dose of radiation (vomiting, hemmorage, loss of hair, etc) in the days following exposure or by radiation induced diseases (cancer, organ/tissue damage) in the weeks, months and years following, to say nothing about the mechanical damage caused by flying debris, building collapse, etc.
