“It’s not revisionism, because the Spanish didn’t flay the kiddies alive and then drown them.”

But they did throw babies to their dogs, according to one friar’s report.

Oh, in that case, it’s better to just forget about the earlier slaughter. ;’)

Look, I had a close relative (as such matters go) who was the last Conquistidore under Pizarro who was drawn, quartered and thrown to the dogs ~ mostly because he was a really bad dude, but also because he refused the orders of the new governor to "get out of town" and at the end refused the ministrations of a Roman Catholic priest.

Blaming the Spanish, in general, for the deeds of the Conquistidores is not only wrong, it's an insult to the Conquistidores. They did their own stuff and with little guidance from Madrid.

I think any of them would be willing to own up to his own deeds.
