We are going to do this the way the Republicans do it...

38. You're not going to argue and then you write three expository paragraphs doing just that:

Historians make multiple assumptions about what might have happened if something else maybe and perhaps had occurred. Well guess what, Americans were dying by the tens of thousands and it was time to end this once and for all. We did not initiate the war, we did not have a surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor or its equivalent on a Sunday morning, we did not enslave Chinese and other nationalities and murder millions. I’m tired of hearing about the “reasonableness” of genocidal regimes run by emperors or Fuhrers.


And I too have studied history and have been personally acquainted with individuals who were involved in decision making during wars, during sieges, and during political campaigns at the highest levels. The one issue common to all these folks is that the real story, the inside story, rarely if ever is accurately chronicled, and many of them will tell you that what you have read in some scholarly tome is actually not what occurred. Color me skeptical.
