The media I think that the inhabitants of {Dresden, Berlin, London, Munich, etc.} would disagree. When you say "Western Hemisphere," I assume you include the entirity of "Western Civilization," which includes most of Europe. I think "in the history of the Western Hemisphere" is taking things a bit far. Try "In the history of the American Hemisphere" and I might not disagree, mainly because it is the ONLY bombardment that has happened in the American hemisphere. With the possible exclusion of some Civil War episodes. But that's because they didn't have Howitzers then.
