Me neither. We already fill guilty for defeating Japan in World War II, we're beginning to feel guilty for defeating Italy in the same war, and who knows who else we're going to feel guilty for defeating in a little while.
I'm just waiting for the Left to start bawling about our winning the Revolutionary War. George III makes a strange leftwing hero, but so does Santa Anna.
If it weren't for our "lousy country" (in the eyes of the left) the entire world would probably still be living under monarchy. Yep, our Revolution sure was rightwing! [/sarcasm]
Oh well. The Left may hate our country but at least they love its government. Their worst nightmare seems to be that a bunch of "gun nuts" will march on Washington and overthrow it. Guess all that "revolution" rhetoric they spewed for so long was just a bunch of hooey.
"If the battle was over the shooting was not. The Versailles victory quickly became a blood bath, anybody in any way connected to the commune or just in the wrong place at the wrong time was shot. Anybody who was in Paris was thereby suspect, guilty even. This reaction of the officers shows the shift to the right that had occurred within the French army.------------------------------------------------------
"Far more died during that last week in May than in any of the battles of the Franco Prussian war, than on any of the previous massacres in French History. The terror of the French revolution amounted to about 19,000 deaths in a year and a half. There is no exact figure but something in the region of 30,000 Parisians were killed during the commune compared to the Versailles losses of 900 dead and 6,500 wounded.
A nuclear strike --
or, God forbid, multiples --
here within the States
would give our "Versailles
nationalists" the green light
to take action here.
I'd imagine that
domestic consequences would make overseas
retaliations
look tame. We would never know
which overseas scum
pushed the button down.
But the enemies at home
have made themselves clear . . .
