This is the BBC. Be ready for an anti-American slant. A visit to their website one month showed stories about America’s religious snake handlers and their politics, while a corresponding story on the Muslim view of death and mortality touted that religion’s complex understanding of life.

I also doubt that the 1944 attacks were for “revenge” as the article claims. The attacks were to destroy the Imperial Army and Navy which was in the middle of killing lots of US, UK, Aussie, Canadian, and other Allied soldiers and sailors. They had self-preservation, not revenge, as their motive.

It may be interesting, and I will try to watch it. But I have been burned before by the BBC./

And London is still rebuilding from The Blitz.

Four generations later, they have been programmed to forget.

What’s with the “revenge” angle?

This was in the middle of the war.

The Doolittle Raids were revenge. The rest was just the normal progress of the war.
