Morality - Trotskyite vs. Christian
By Patrick J. Buchanan
Did Hitler's crimes justify the Allies' terror-bombing of Germany?
Indeed they did, answers Christopher Hitchens in his Newsweek response to my
new book, "Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War": "The stark evidence
of the Final Solution has ever since been enough to dispel most doubts
about, say, the wisdom or morality of carpet-bombing German cities."
Atheist, Trotskyite and newborn neocon, Hitchens embraces the morality of
lex talionis: an eye for an eye. If Germans murdered women and children, the
British were morally justified in killing German women and children.
According to British historians, however, Churchill ordered the initial
bombing of German cities on his first day in office, the very first day of
the Battle of France, on May 10, 1940.
After the fall of France, Churchill wrote Lord Beaverbrook, minister of air
production: "When I look round to see how we can win the war, I see that
there is only one sure path ... an absolutely devastating, exterminating
attack by very heavy bombers from this country upon the Nazi homeland."
