In what world, Miss Paige, does that make the winners liars? By what logic does success necessitate an inherent duplicity and lies in it's retelling of it's own successes? If I am to play a game of scrabble against my sister and win, would my winning dictate that I have no valid memory as to what words were played and when? What a load of cr--...er, of junk!
And what say you then to events such as the Holocaust, where the most biting and chillingly accurate tales are told by the ultimate losers of the event? History is not just written by those who got off well - it is a compendium of accounts from the winning and losing sides. I can tell you first hand, the Germans are still quite sore and ashamed of the Holocaust events, but it is not they who are trying to wipe the idea from history. No, it is ignorant fools like yourself who claim we cannot understand the truths of matters past that are also claiming that events such as the Holocaust did not exist. Ever hear the story of Corrie TenBoom? If she is to be considered a winner for losing her father and sister to internment camps just because she reconciled herself with the prison guard who beat her long after her release, I'd ask that you re-define your concept of a "winner" - for her win was a religious one, and judging by your comment, you are not one to side with Faith as a positive.
Every man is flawed, for sure, and if you're still bought into the black-and-white depictions of America vs. Hitler, or Lincoln vs. the Confederates, then it is you, not I, who is deceived. Every winner has black on his record, and every loser has white. The facts are contained in the event, on the man.
