[Peace-discuss] The "two faces" of Winston Churchill

[David Green]

I don't think that there is as much irony or mystery about WC as Greenwald and 
NYT reviewer Hari make out to be. Hari refers disparigingly to Nicholson Baker's 
"Human Smoke," which I think gets WC about right. He was a monster. There is no 
more reason to revere Churchill for "defeating" Hitler than there is to revere 
Stalin, who in fact really did defeat him. I was not surprised by the NYT 
review, only a little surprised by Hari, and somewhat more surprised by 
Greenwald's take.
