Ch.9 (entry #2)

So which is worse, Dresden of Hiroshima?  We hear so much about the bombing of Hiroshima because it ended the war, and was the first nuclear bombing in history. I've heard stories about the bombing of Hiroshima a bunch of time, but I have never once heard about the firebombing of Dresden, Germany until I read SH 5.  People say that bombing Hiroshima was cruel and unjust for it was full of innocent people, but isn't it the same concept with Dresden. "I deeply regret that British and U.S. bombers killed 135,000 people in the attack on Dresden...The atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima killed 71,379 people" (Vonnegut 187-188). So why do we hear more about Hiroshima than Dresden when we learn about WWII?
