If you really believe that asking someone to pretend they are 200 yrs in the past, and wanting their opinion on a subject that they know the outcome to, is a valid question, then please, have the last word, you obviously need it.

What happened 225 years ago is relevant to today. Just as the birth of Christ some 2000 years ago is still relevant to all who believe in His name. Both events changed the world for the better. 200 years hence my decendents, God willing, will be making the same reflection about our "war on terror" rolling back the darkness of tyranny that oppresses the vast majority of the eastern world.
