It's hard for us to take the moral high ground on that since 500 died in Coventry, whereas >100k died in Dresden, so the response was out of all proportion
There's 808 in one mass grave, with a total of approx 1200 dead, 80% of which died in the attacks of November 14/15 1940. My Nan was on lookout that night in Solihull, she witnessed the massive squadron of aircraft and knew something bad was happening. But yeah, still well short of the casualties in Dresden.

I wasn't claiming moral high ground, simply arguing that in the context of total war, things aren't so simple. Total war means the deployment of civilian resources in a state of war, and that unfortunately means civilians are a more legitimate target.

It was a show of force.

Saudi Arabia and Yemen are not in a state of total war, so civilian targets are much less legitimate. Sure, no doubt the Yemeni military use schools and hospitals as bases to give them some kind of moral high ground when they get attacked, but that doesn't justify the indiscriminate bombing of residential areas. And, more to the point, it doesn't justify our weapons trade with the Saudis. We justify that by pointing to jobs... that's a terrible reason to sell weapons to oppressive giovernments.
