BAD DAY IN DRESDEN
As thousands of neo-Nazis marched in Dresden, Germany, on the 60th anniversary of the allied bombing raids that destroyed the city during World War II, I was reminded of the honkey myopia that Bill Osborne warned about earlier this month. The marchers, "waving black flags and carrying banners," were using today's anniversary to claim that Germany was "a war victim," as though the Holocaust had never happened. It is an untenable pretense to equate the Dresden bombing with Hiroshima and Nagasaki the way the neo-Nazi marchers do -- although reasonable people could debate the bombings -- because, for starters, Holocaust denial is too loathsome to contemplate.Posted by at February 13, 2005 11:59 AM
