>On the subject of different views on the same chapter of history it was very interesting for me visit the War Museum in Vienna last year. As a student of military history I try to visit every history type of museum I can. Anyway, I got to see the car where Archduke Ferdinand was killed (see picture I took here). That event, as you most probably know, was the spark that started WWWI. The amazing thing to me was the explanation card for the event given at the Museum. My books on history had always referred to Gavrilo Princip as an Anarchist, yet the Museum (my first reading from the "other" side of the story) referred to "a terrorist", not even giving his name or trying to explain the whys from the perpetrator point of view.

Ah yes, you make my point about history. It is someone's perspective of the events that happened. A recent case in point is Ronald Reagan. We on the right know he was the greates thing since sliced bread and that he almost singlehandedly brought down communism in Russia and Europe. Those on the Wrong side have a different perspective. Who is right? Well, we are of course, by definition!<g>
