> We should be as exactly horrified as we are by the fact the US dropped convential high explosives and incendaries on civilians. Not exactly. Having firebombs at our disposal does not require the head of one country to have unaccountable power over the lives of everyone on earth. Firebombs do not require entire industries shrouded in secrecy, nor the transformation of security clearance, or lack there of, into a weapon for shutting down public inquiry and challenges, nor the creation of parallel government structure both invisible and unaccountable to the public. The effects on the cities may not be that different, but nuke's unmitigated corruption of the democratic system is certainly horrifying.
