Long overdue IMHO.

"The memorial, which should be built by 2012, will commemorate the 55,573 crew of Bomber Command, with an average age of 22, who were killed in World War II. "

I agree.
War is a nasty business. Bomber Command air crews carried out operations in great danger and hardship and deserve recognition for that and the very high loss of life they suffered in the process.

Totally agree, the fact that people are now questioning the policy of bomber command, doesnt detract from the sacrifice made by the crews doing the job they were ordered to do.
