Thank you Richard.

I suspect that with each year's passing
fewer people remember
the horror inflicted on civilian populations
during past wars.

World War II:
100 - 200,000 Japanese (Hiroshima and Nagasaki)
30,000 Germans (firebombing Dresden)
100,000 Japanese (firebombing Tokyo)
50 - 150,000 (Okinawa)
between 3 and 6,000,000 Chinese (at the hands of Japan)
and of course
6,000,000 Jews (at the hands of the Germans)
(these are just big numbers)
For numbers world wide due to WWII:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#Total_Deaths>

Vietnam:
843,000 civilian deaths

Iraq:
100,000 and still counting - civilian deaths

Afghanistan:
10,000 and counting - civilian deaths
