Alex,

You began on this thread by making a good argument concerning one's perspective affecting one's view of history. Fine with me and we all need that reminder. Now you have progressed from providing a useful argument to defending an argument that is just ludicrous. Perspective is not the only argument about historical interpretation, it is simply the easiest to make. We have now reached the point where that argument always goes -- arguing which perspective is "true". And that is bull**it.

Monty Python recognized that both parties positions are stupid.
