I really appreciate this response, I am usually pretty articulate, but not when I'm under pressure to beat a debate lord. However, you did a great job summarizing a lot of the stuff that I had read in the past which formed my opinions. I am not trying to change someone's mind as much as I'm trying to add context to the way I feel about the history and decisions made that shaped it. I agree that it should be remembered as a war crime, not the better of two bad options...
