I'd say that the claims that it ended German capabilities and demoralized the population are more provocative than correctly calling it a massacre. Even granted that massacring civilians is justified if it furthers a war end, there are at best serious questions regarding how much the Dresden raid did to do that.
At least the atomic bombs ended the war. This is thought to have done nothing at all.
That's where you're wrong though. Not trying to be a Stormfag, but murdering civilians had been a major aim of Bomber Command for most of the war. They called it 'dehousing' German workers. If they happened to live there, then that's too bad for them.
Of course they didn't give a damn. Unfortunately, that's not how politics works. You don't get to the top of the greasy pole by caring about the civilians of your belligerent.
Very few people were actually murdered during the destruction of Georgia. So that definitely was not a massacre.
