Hi everyone,
I just read an article about how Jon Stewart prepares for the Oscars now the writers ended the strike and he was quoted with a phrase I don't understand. Can some native speaker please explain?
If he's referring to my home town, the German city of Dresden that was destroyed 63 years ago ... well, I am familiar with the history, of course, but I still don't get the analogy.
Thanks everyone.

He was already expending enormous energy keeping ôThe Daily Showö running without writers, an experience he described as disorienting. ôYou really did feel,ö he said, ôyou were playing one of those moral dilemma games at a really crummy party: æIf you had to choose between your writers and your staff ...Æ Except it was real.ö
But he said the act of pulling together a show every day instilled a sense of pride in the nonwriting staff. ôI didnÆt want the writers walking back into Dresden,ö Mr. Stewart said, ôand weÆd burnt the place to the ground.ö
