I presume he would understand it if a German murdered him now, given the terrible death toll caused in the British firebombing of Dresden, the only good Briton is a dead one.

Just to be pedantic, I am sure that Germany didn't declare war on the British Empire. I am pretty sure we claimed we declared war on Germany to pprotect the independence of Poland.

Didn't achieve that, did we?

Major fail.

Spot on.
Britain could have bombed the railway lines that led to the Nazi death camps and saved millions of lives.
It chose to unleash a wave of bombing terror on civilians instead.

I can understand Moore's bitterness, but this is not an excuse for his Little England bigotry, which ATEOTD is merely a mirror image of some of the worst nationalistic ravings of the Nazis themselves. Moore's comments are also an insult to hundreds of thousands of Germans who opposed Hitler and paid for that with their lives.

If his fiancee had been killed by a greengrocer in 1940 would he now be waging war on employees of Tesco and Asda?

But once he'd done it, he's hardly in a position to moan about it happening in return

It's just the same mentality as a terrorist.

People over here condemn the Taleban and terrorists etc but if one of your family was killed as 'collateral damage' from an RAF or American bombing raid then wouldn't you be justified getting some retaliation on Western civilians or at the very least taking down some squaddies with an IED?

Are you trying to say you're a nobody?

Another difference is that he has given a view on this subject, and you haven't.:wink:
