The personality and political bent of historians has a big effect on the interpretation. You see this a lot in contemporary historical documentaries and books. The same must have applied to historians of the past. Of course, their work is reinterpreted for each generation. What will they make of Ancient Aliens on the History Channel in 1000 years, that is the big question.

Originally posted by nickgusset Thanks. That makes it alright then. Churchill is exonerated because of Stalin and Mao's c***ishness. The salient point is that what separates them is how people rationalise the blood on their hands. The empire was also built on the suffering and carnage of others, in the name of profit. Whilst the likes of Lenin, Hitler and Stalin belong in a different league, the wealth of the west was built on the bones of millions as well "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

There is a Churchill thread. Can we give respect to the victims and not score points? "Everything is air-droppable at least once." "When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support."

Did not realise the Churchill had access to a time machine to go back to the 18th century to commit his wicked deeds. This is the last paragraph in the 'article' "Dear Reader, you can do your bit in the War against Zionist-Bush Lies by informing everyone you can and by eschewing any avoidable business dealings with people, institutions, corporations and countries involved in the Palestinian Genocide, the Muslim Holocaust and the looming Climate Genocide." Do you expect us to take Polya's nonsense seriously? Did that article honestly say that? If so, it ratifies my current strategy of not clicking on Gusset's dodgy links.... unless of course Churchill was capable of time travel? He was a very clever man though!

Originally posted by EaglesEaglesEagles [Link] Don't know how accurate this graphic is.

Nonetheless, potentially interesting. Surely this kind of information material could be utilised to produce a set of "Top Trumps" for Murderous Dictators? I can see the kids in the playground playing it quite happily discussing the merits of Hitlers Nazi penchant for genocide versus Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge bloodlust.

Indeed Hoof, here is the relevant part: For your convenience, I have simply listed below an expanded list of immense crimes in which Churchill was complicit as a racist soldier, politician, mass murderer and holocaust-denying writer – indeed he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 for his numerous published works, especially his six-edition set The Second World War in which he ignored his deliberate, remorseless murder of 6-7 million Indians in 1943-1945 [ I have provided estimates of violent and non-violent avoidable deaths in square brackets]. 1. British Indian Holocaust (1.8 billion excess deaths, 1757-1947; 10 million killed in post-1857 Indian Mutiny reprisals; 1 million starved, 1895-1897 Indian Famine; 6-9 million starved, 1899-1900 Indian Famine; 6-7 million starved under Churchill, Bengali Holocaust 1943-1945]. (Now cue Nick banging on about context, sources etc zzz etc zzz etc) We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]
