The Islamic State hasn’t burned alive any children yet, but if it did it would be 70 years too late. Here is a brief description from History.com of the firebombing of Tokyo 70 years ago:
On this day, U.S. warplanes launch a new bombing offensive against Japan, dropping 2,000 tons of incendiary bombs on Tokyo over the course of the next 48 hours. Almost 16 square miles in and around the Japanese capital were incinerated, and between 80,000 and 130,000 Japanese civilians were killed in the worst single firestorm in recorded history.
Forget the Islamic State, forget Boko Haram, forget al-Qaeda, forget al-Shabaab, forget the Taliban–the U.S. is the greatest terror state.
