Dresden was bombed on the 13th and 14th February 1945. That's BEFORE the end of WWII.

Fine, it doesn't change anything. Germany was defetead in that moment and they killed all that people just to intimidate Soviets ...

To defeat a regime you need to do what happened to the Nazis. Cut out the whole cancer. If you just chop off the head and hold it up then the majority may give up, but in a huge organisation, finding all the heads is nearly impossible.
Did that make any sense whatsoever?

Of course saddam was a threat! He murdered millions of inncoent people both in his own country and others! If he had of had the capabilities to launch an attack on America or the UK he probably would have so the world and Iraq is a better place without him!

I'd have thought the reason behind bombing Dresden had rather more to do with accelerating the end of the war, than intimidating the Soviets.

we had no right to invade, the argument he tortured many is true but so does many other countrys around the world. all i read on the amnesty international website is allegations of torture in many countries

The reasons were to show willing to do massive damage and intimidate the enemy. The Soviets were just a bonus.
Or it may have been the other way around.

Are you some sort of history revisionist? On what grounds do you base your statements? Which historian are you quoting? Or, do you just make things up as you go along?

I don't do research, I've read it in a lot of places and wikipedia is one of them. If you don't like it fine but I said that it could be possible that I were wrong, so take it easy.

In hindsight, all that happend was simply on a delay. The problems they may of have happend this time (but we kept down the caualtys due to advances in weaponry and medical tecniques)

In other words you have demonstrated time and again a propensity to pervert fact in the interests of bolstering your arguments and are all too ready to "shoot from the hip" rather than "**** off and find out" which is what you should do if you wish to contribute intelligently.
"Dresden was bombed after the war" is one example amongst many.

Well, I don't care about you. I contribute what I want, a margin of a couple of months doesn't change a bit.

A margin of a couple of months changes everything. In this case it's the difference between being at war and not being at war.

If you don't agree fine, whatever, I don't have time to argue with you.

I don't agree that wasn't my point, I already admited that I made a mistake but my point was the bombing of civil population to intimidate an enemy. This is qualified as a war crime by a lot of people.
