Keith

You had just been shown that the historians said that their views were not influenced by lies and propaganda, but were carefully thought and sensible. You clearly rejected all that.

No I have not rejected it. I have simply expanded it to include all sides. Considering that both sides could not be fighting a just war then one of them must have been fighting an unjust one. The people of one country must therefore have been influenced by lies and propaganda to support it.

I am sure Keith is quite capable of answering for himself but, seeing as you have brought up the subject of Belgium, twice, I think we could well expand your idea of asking other people what they thought was right. Maybe we should ask the people of the Belgian Congo if they thought 'brave little Belgium' was worth all the effort?

Both - I am not arguing history here but humanity. Something that you both appear to lack.
