England produced Winston Churchill

Churchill has made some nasty statements too. And he supported the use of poison gas against Iraqi insurgents.

One always learns something on FR. I am always willing to learn. The articles posted by you, will be carefully perused. Yes, we of the snot-nosed English working class, knew of the dark side of Churchill. He was in favour of the use of armed troops against striking workers. A fact hotly disputed though.

The American victor of the Civil War, said "War is hell". He was right. Most people,even Americans do not know that atrocities against civilians marked Lincoln's triumph.

What I do think should be said,- is that the bottom line is- How many Jews did this person persecute and murder?. When one considers the Imams and the cries for the extermination of Jews and indeed, the obliteration of Israel- how does Irving's denials stand?.

There is bigger fish to fry than Irving, says I. ---

"Churchill has made some nasty statements.."

So did Abe Lincoln.

"And he supported the use of poison gas against Iraqi insurgents"

Hmmm.. what was it that Delano and Harry supported? All's fair in love and war, right?

Really though.. surely we are not questioning that Churchill was a great man, are we?
