Dresden was most certainly NOT made mostly of wood. The Allies in fact reduced their levels of destruction after mostly the USA (as Britain was still bitter about the blitz) was appalled at the damage and death.No. That's not how bombs work. It is my personal and subjective opinion that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
I do, actually, look at the cities in Ukraine - and your statement makes me think you don't. In Kyiv it's actually (mostly) business as usual - public transit operates, garbage gets collected, cafes are full of people - other than the occasional air raid and the ubiqitous sightings of military vehicles and people in uniform, you'd hardly know there's a war going on at all. Same goes for most other Ukrainian cities, TBH.
This is because most of the public infrastructure in Japanese cities was made of wood, which made it very susceptible to carpet bombing using incendiary munitions. None of which is true in the case of Iran (and besides, carpet bombing is not a thing anymore).
Saying "that's what happened in WW2 in Japan, so therefore that's what's gonna hapen now in Iran" is utterly ludicrous.
You sir, quite simply are the one with no idea of what you speak. The debate should be over will. Does the USA will it to happen? Are we ready to accept the consequences of our actions. The US has lacked the will to totally commit to the destruction and defeat of an enemy since Japan in WW2.
We are even willing to lose before we have to apply anywhere near our full power (conventional). Apparently Germans being sucked into a 300 mph firestorm (sources do say 500) was worse then flash frying half a million Japanese.
But there is a huge difference between not having the ability versus the will. Just the B1 fleet represents far more striking power than the US Army Air Forces could muster to attack either Japan or Germany. Brother we have power and ability in spades.
We lack the will. We just don’t want to be bad. We collectively fear being evil.

. Pity enemies and allies can't believe that. So such a well thought out plan by a terrorist group since the last massive terrorist attack was what time frame? It may well be that long again? It isn't like home made explosives in back packs or vehicles, those are so much simpler. Or a handful of people with guns in a seige or attacks in different locations. 911 was an absolutely amazingly powerful effort. Extremely skilled pilots that must have had previous training besides what they received from US flight schools. Many many questions unanswered? Why? Personally I find it disgusting dismissing questions and witnesses from all walks of life , especially emergency service personnel. Than again military personnel and commercial pilots have been mocked for decades over unidentified flying objects, how is coming along nowadays? Tic tac hoax? Those poor pilots so many before them. Fuel fumes are highly hallucinogenic whether people are in ground, air or water capable vehicles. And swamp gas will be detected in deserts in the future.
