Ben Stein has no business condoning bombing civilians in WWII. A second rate history student could discern the British initiated the practice and yet the tactic did very little to stop the war.

Dresden was a holocaust very dissimilar to Hiroshima.

His dismissing Yalta and implying FDR invited the Japanese to attack is outrageously incorrect. Churchill drew up the post-WWII boundaries on a napkin anyway, so why blame FDR, who died in April 1945?

Putting the cart ahead of the horse aren’t we? Killers? We don’t know the facts yet, do we? Most assuredly there is no citizen, no network anchor, no stringer, who knows what happened on the ground over there. All that’s going on now is pontificating.

I noticed there is no mention of the rights of, oh, say a Marine perhaps. Due process. The law. Iraqis have rights. Illegal immigrants have rights. Murderers and rapists have rights. Drug dealers have rights.

Who defends the defenders?
