duci, you and usually agree but if you believe most of what this site says, then I am shocked.The site tended to downplay America's role in the war against Hitler.True I think it's a bad myth that some believe we won the war all by ourselves but that site downplays the huge role American played in Europe and does not even mention the the Pacific.You know the history.

Site is also rather wrong about Churchill, if he was so bad, why was he elected again in the 50's? I honestly think we should have turned against stalin after WW II was over before he had the bomb and couldve prob avoided two proxy wars with the soviets(korea and vietnam) and saved millions of people from living under decades of soviet rule.Sacrificed more then for a better future.However, it did not happen and thinks worked out well anyway because Ronald Reagan helped bring down the Soviet Union.Churchill did not have a bloodlust, he just wanted to rid the world of the virus called communisim.

I am pretty sure Churchill did not call the Labour party leaders Gestapo but he said they may have to use methods like the Gestapo to enforce their views and programs.Could not have been too wrong, he was elected again in next election.Brits figured out the Lefty promises of gumdrop rain showers in the new British utopia are just not possible.All these years later I hear from every Brit I meet and have met(quite a few in my area believe it or not) the NHS sucks outloud.Looks like Winston was correct. You did say it was satire but guess i am missing the satire on this one.

With some reforms, India etc would have been better off to stay part of the Empire.Look at India etc today, not exactly places you want to stay.
