Churchill war criminal, says German historian

[Bereta_Eder]

Could be. In any case, the overal deal was better, according to the polish gov. and that's all that matters.

For the record we have both kind of planes

This is political correctness gone wild.

As if Germany had not been sentenced for their war crimes or as if had not taken full responsablity of its war crimes. Germans did apologize (and restitute in many cases) for what they had done in the war.

Moreover, it's not about being bombed (that's what may happen in a war), but about the unnecessary and willful bombing of civilians and targets without military value. And THAT's not political correctness gone wild.

[Chris 62]

Yes it is.

NEWSFLASH:

GERMANY STARTED WWII AND AREA BOMBING OF CIVILLIAN TARGETS.

If it's a war crime for the other side to delieberately atack civilians, why isn't it a war crime for our side to do the same? I'm not defending what the other side did. Why are you defending us when we did the same thing?

War is a crime Che, once it comes, rules go out the door when fighting scum like the Nazis or Imperial Japan.

The kids today may not like it, but that's the way it is.

There´s one point you miss.

Most of the german Leadership has been comdemned fpr their crimes, they commited and the orders they gave during WW 2.

There has been a big War crime tribunal in Nuremberg after the War and I assume, those people who gave the orders to bomb english cities have also been found guilty and executed afterwards.

In contrast there haven´t been many war crime tribunals for atrocities committed by the winners of WW2 and neither Churchill nor Harris ever had account for the bombing of german residential districts.

If any nations attacks you and commits atrocities on your Citizens during the war and you retaliate and commit the same atrocities on their citizens, does it make your atrocities less grave?
I would say "No"

[Drogue]

Well, that's the way you think it is. We are still entitled to disagree. Germany didn't start area bombing either. Even in Britain we're taught that we started it, even though it was 'justified'.

The reason that the Polish bought American fighters was that the USA government helped sweeten the deal for the Polish to the total of $8 billion. Bribery is such a good way to win eh?

So what?

[Chris 62]

Germany began area bombing in the Spanish Civil war, so your being taught wrong.

Harris and Churchill thought they were a war winner, they were wrong.

Don't like bombing?
Next time don't start a war.

Thats for both sides. According to your statement, Germany and Japan shouldnt apologize for their war crime either.

But we did win. So does it matter?

[Chris 62]

I have no problem with it, and I find it stupid for people to ask for appologies from 60 years back events.

Also, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were abominations, so I couldn't care less that they were bombed.

Then there was the UK intelligence operation which secured that Botswana was placed on the #24 spot, slightly less 'corrupt' than France # 25, on 8 August 2002 Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index 2002 .

2 sept, 2002 Blair visits Africa

Chirac 2 nov. says After EU agricultural summit: " British bull**** is not safe and an embargo against it must be implemented in Europe."

I tend to agree.

A mini-summit between Chirac and Blair is planned for feb 4. 2003. Let's see...

Chris: Your "winner's justice" attitude is really incredible and sickening.
And don't forget, not "Nazi Germany" was bombed, but people living there, like my grandfather who was far from being a Nazi (no, he did not die). And you, again, forgot to explain why you think it's justified to bomb knowingly civilian quarters without military value, just in order to kill as many people as possible. Only becasue it's "only revenge" for other crimes commited by Germans, it doesn't make them right.
