My understanding is that the National Museum of History in Mexico City spends a great deal of time explaining how the US stole Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico, and cheated in the 1848 war.

Santa Anna's title was "Hero [benemérito] of the nation, General of Division, Grand Master of the National and Distinguished Order of Guadalupe, Grand Cross of the Royal and Distinguished Spanish Order of Carlos III, and President of the Mexican Republic, then, too.

Sorta sounds like a title Obama would covet.

Losers of a war often try for decades or even a century plus to validate their losses and often white wash what caused the wars they lost.

Losers rewrite history, and winners make history.
