It should also be noted that World War II was a conflict in which all sides used indiscriminate bombing of civilian populations. This was an incredibly brutal war by modern standards.

It is astonishing to look at the number of people killed - at least 50,000,000 - and realize this all happened only 12 years before I was born. When White Supremacists yammer about the wonders of Western Civilization, I think about WWII.
