Just War?

On February 13th, 1945 Kurt Vonnegut and other American POWs were hiding in a cellar during the firebombing of Dresden.  They were remarkably lucky, as 135,000 people died that night.  During the bombing one soldier said, “I wonder what the poor people are doing tonight?”  Nobody laughed but, as Vonnegut tells the story, everyone was grateful he said it.  In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge we’ll talk with Kurt Vonnegut about humor for desperate times.
