Yes. War, especially in the modern era requires a large industrial base to maintain (well, non-guerilla operations anyway)
of Tokyo? (10% died in one raid). Stalins execution of his own people?
Yes, as above. To accomplish his goals, yes. IMO, no.

Centuries? Maybe 3 of them, the 1600's, 1700's and 1800's, more like never.

There has been a long history of taking the war to the civilians. Salting crop land, poisoning wells, burning cities--long before Sherman marched on Atlanta civilians were targets. The Aristocracy didn't approve publically, but what does a blockade accomplish if not to deprive civilians of certain things? Yes, it also keeps it out of the hands of the Military, but it also affects non-military.

War is a most nasty thing, and often fought by people who are at very impressionable age (young men). Watching your friends and buddies die is a tough thing for most, as is killing other people. For most people killing is not something to be done lightly, and it is necessary to work them into a state were killing is possible. This state also tends to make certain actions seem like a good idea. As to the Strategic decesions like the bombing of Dresden and the Nuking of Japan, well, when is the last time a Political leader (and High Ranking Generals ARE Political Leaders) actually stopped to consider the lives or feelings of people that aren't going to vote for hir?

I doubt Hitler explicitly said "Kill all the jews for me would you Gobby?" but hey, the guy was the ABSOLUTE RULER, he made his desires known, and things happened.

I don't know enough WWII history to know how the Nazis were attempting to solve the "Jewish Problem" at Dachau, but I hear that Belson was a Gas <sorry>

I wasn't aware that the US Constitution could be applied outside the US. While I understand why you use a remailer, I wish you'd post some address that I could send mail to rather than cluttering up the list. Petro, Christopher C. petro@suba.com (prefered) snow@crash.suba.com

I'm glad *somebody* realized that. I believe there have been at least a half dozen messages Cc'd to nobody in the last couple days. [everything of "substance" deleted]

Based on other discussions we've had, I believe I've sent Nobody the FAQ for the alpha.c2.org remailer. Another, minimum alternative would be to post anonymous messages with a PGP signature. This would at least answer the questions of whether the Mr. Nobody that posted the Iron Mountain hoax is the same Mr. Nobody who spews about Dresden. If Nobody needs help getting an alpha.c2.org account to work, and he doesn't trust anybody here, then I recommend whitewolf@alpha.c2.org, an avowed National Socialist who 1) will not betray Nobody's trust and 2) is not subject to surveilance, because all messages to him will arrive PGP-encrypted, to be read offline. Another Nazi who seems to know a lot about how alpha.c2.org works, because he traced my friend Erin's nym back with a traffic-analysis spam, is ralphj@eskimo.com. I would recommend "Dave Harmon," but he had his netcom account yanked because he kept forging cancels for my and others' Usenet posts, among other things I can't talk about. I believe the same person can be reached through the penet.fi pseudonym "Skipper's Hammer," though. Hope this helps. At least with a stable nym, we'd be able to flame you for off-topic posts. -rich
