History Is For Suckers.

[redpill]

Napoleon once said, "History is a set of lies agreed upon."  Tolstoy once said, "History would be a wonderful thing.  If it were only true."  Most often, what is history depends on the outcome of some conflict.  As one truism says, "History is written by the victors."  And when it comes to war, another truism says, "In war, truth is the first casualty."  For the winning side, it remains a casualty.  Also, no doubt, demonizing the enemy is a tactic as old as the hills.  Another thing is that it is well known that one country's villain is another countries hero.
