“We allied ourselves with a dictator who was every bit as brutal as Hitler. We adopted tactics that we ourselves had condemned as depraved: killing prisoners, and bombing civilians. And yet all of this isn't to imply some kind of simple moral equivalence between Auschwitz and Hiroshima. The axis cities would never have been bombed if their governments hadn't launched wars of aggression, and they would have kept on killing people had it not been for the determination of the allies to prevail, by fair means or foul. But what I do want to acknowledge is that the victory of 1945 was a tainted victory, if indeed it was a victory at all.”
-- Niall Ferguson
