You said: "why were the British not put on trial for deleberatly targetting German civillions, or the Americans put on trial for there sick little nuclear experiment against the Japanese, and, once again, targetting civillions not milliatry personel?"
Fact: The Blitz was the sustained bombing of Britain by Nazi Germany between 7 September 1940 and 10 May 1941, in World War II. While the "Blitz" hit many towns and cities across the country, it began with the bombing of London for 57 nights in a row. By the end of May 1941, over 43,000 civilians, half of them in London, had been killed by bombing and more than a million houses destroyed or damaged in London alone.
Fact: Nazi Germany Murdered Six Million Jewish Civilians during WWII
Fact: The Nanking Massacre, commonly known as the Rape of Nanking, was an infamous war crime committed by the Japanese military in Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China, after it fell to the Imperial Japanese Army on December 13, 1937. The duration of the massacre is not clearly defined, although the violence lasted well into the next six weeks, until early February 1938.
During the occupation of Nanking, the Japanese army committed numerous atrocities, such as rape, looting, arson and the execution of prisoners of war and civilians. According to the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, estimates indicate that the total number of civilians and prisoners of war murdered in Nanking and its vicinity during the first six weeks of the Japanese occupation was over 200,000.
Analysis: You examples of the Allies "crimes" are downright silly in comparison to the most malignant, the most calculated, the most devestating crimes in the history of mankind, perpetuated by the Germans and the Japanese during WWII. You are at best a boob and at worst an apologist for murder, brutalities, torture and atrocities.

What really gets me is that the majority of these neo-nazis and nazi sympathizers would not of been "selected for life" had they of been sent to the camps, but they're too stupid to realize that.
Mr. Revisionist, go look in the mirror: are you tall and slim? do you have blonde hair and blue eyes? is your face long and angular? If not, you and your family would have of been *gone* eventually.

The trial was a complete joke, The U.S. killed many civilians with the atomic bomb. And Stalin was far worse than Hitler. Every country in the war intentionally killed civilians. Russia did mass gangrapes of German women, many of which committed suicide afterward. America used the Atomic Bomb on a second civilian target after the successful first bombing. And idiots continue to demonize German leaders that were bad enough that they don't need to be demonized in order to whitewash everything the victors of the war did. There was plenty of evil going around. It's unfortunate that people seem to have been brainwashed into thinking the jews were the only victims, and that Germany were the only evildoers of the war.

The way the OP makes his claims are sort of nutty but the fact that the trials in Nuremberg and ESPECIALLY Tokyo were show trials is pretty much known by major historians. Citing that the bombing of Dresden was strategic for this reason or that reason would've meant d!ck to the Axis had they won. Dropping a nuke, strategic?! Get real, even if it did serve a purpose it was still to shock and awe, much like the Blitz.
Robert McNamara himself in the Fog of War says that we would've rightly been tried for crimes too had we lost.
So lets not try to mythologize the Allies as ultimate good guys. They had their share of criminal activity too.
