Now that the Administration has redefined 'freedom fighters' objecting to the invasion of their nations as 'terrorists', to avoid allegations of double standards, when does the President plan to rewrite American history books and apply the same description to other evil 'terrorists' like Paul Revere and George Washington?
Never. History is written by the winners, and you guys lost that one.
Contemporary history books may not jive with books of the future.
Well, There is such a thing as "revisionism".
Before and immediately after Kennedy was assassinated, he was the president who walked on water. However, after it was found that he had made Khruschev "blink" as he said but only by not telling the American people that a secret deal had been made by his brother the attorney g eneral with the Russians to have the American Missles pointed at the Soviets from Turkey removed, his reputation became tarnished.
