- Oh, so it's all a plot! This garbage is as bad as the Nazi revisionist history that
- had all progress and wonder coming from the Aryan race (and ancient Greeks were
- supposedly Aryan). Are Europeans the only people that have committed evil acts
- in this world? Is Western civilization simply a blight holding back the happiness
- and progress of otherwise perfect peoples!
-
- I remember a quote from a Latin American author who had enought of anti-American
- revisionist history a few years ago (paraphrased) '....Looking at some of my
- compatriots view of history, one would think that the main problem confronting
- the Latin American nations before US involvement was the obesity of the peasants...'
