He suffered no such delusions about War. It sometimes is necessary and just, but it is always hell.

And what Sherman’s armies did to Atlanta and Columbia was not unprecedented. Mehmet Ali Pasha (Viceroy-Ruler of Egypt) and Mahmud II (Caliph of the Ottoman Empire, starter of the Tanzimat) ordered the annihilation of Diriyah in 1818 as a result of the horrors the Sauds unleashed in the Arabian Peninsula and Mesopotamia. Including a massacre in Karbala, where the Wahhabi armies butchered 4,000 men, women, and children.
