A history lesson from 'www.unvarnishedtruth.com'
In noting 'that the list of nations supporting the Second Gulf War is dominated by those whose peoples best understand freedom, because in the twentieth century they split blood, tears and sweat to achieve it, or because they were denied it by decades of Soviet socialism'Mr Unvarnished Truth adds,
"In the period when Britain and the United States waged ground and air war on Nazis and Communists in Germany, Korea, Vietnam, Chile and Nicaragua, when Poland declined to collaborate with the Nazis and then waged internal war on Soviet Communism, when Romania was executing its socialist tyrant, Germany invaded all her neighbours and attempting genocide and France prostrated herself before the Third Reich but left NATO."
Comment woud be superflous, except to say I'm surprised he hasn't managed to weave distortions such as Franco's crushing of the communists, or the Italians' brave fight against the Nazis, or Japan's commitment to fighting Stalin into this unique reading of history.
