Jag håller inte med om att den som missunnar andra vad han själv inte kan dra nytta av ska ha den slutliga rätten, även om han funnits på platsen mycket längre. Jag erkänner inte den rätten. Jag håller till exempel inte med om att det har begåtts en stor orätt mot Amerikas indianer eller de svarta i Australian. Jag går inte med på att en orätt har begåtts mot dessa folk genom att en starkare, högre stående, så att säga världserfarnare ras har kommit och tagit deras plats.

Påminner om en intressant artikel jag läst:

There's another inconvenient fact about Churchill: he was a fascist too, every bit as much as Hitler. Only thing is, you can't blame him much for that, because, and I want y'all to listen up here, everybody in Europe was a fascist until 1943--if they were quick on the uptake enough to see the Wehrmacht was doomed--or 1944, by which time it was obvious even to the moron majority that fascism was now officially taboo. I repeat: everybody in Europe. Fascist to the core.

Churchill's one and only reason for fighting Hitler was that he didn't want Germany challenging England for world domination. In 1936, Churchill told a British general, "Germany is getting too strong; we must smash her." That was his only objection to the Nazis. No way he could have minded their brutality, because Churchill was always in favor of violence against anybody who opposed British interests. Long before the war, he supported using concentration camps for the Boer women and kids, strafing Indian villages--and here's his enlightened democratic quote on how to deal with the Iraqi Kurds, everybody's favorite persecuted minority, from a 1919 memo: "I am strongly in favour of using poisoned [sic] gas against uncivilized tribes."

That doesn't make him a bad guy; it just makes him a standard European, pre-1945.
