In WInston Churchill - Hollywood rewards a mass murderer
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/opinions-in-winston-churchill-hollywood-rewards-a-mass-murderer/ar-BBK7flL?li=AAggNb9
<snip>
Shashi Tharoor is author of “Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India.” He chairs the Indian Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee.

“History,” Winston Churchill said, “will be kind to me, for I intend to write it myself.” He needn’t have bothered. He was one of the great mass murderers of the 20th century, yet is the only one, unlike Hitler and Stalin, to have escaped historical odium in the West. He has been crowned with a Nobel Prize (for literature, no less), and now, an actor portraying him (Gary Oldman) has been awarded an Oscar.

As Hollywood confirms, Churchill’s reputation (as what Harold Evans has called “the British Lionheart on the ramparts of civilization”) rests almost entirely on his stirring rhetoric and his talent for a fine phrase during World War II. “We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. … We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets. … We shall never surrender.” (The revisionist British historian John Charmley dismissed this as “sublime nonsense.”)

Words, in the end, are all that Churchill admirers can point to. His actions are another matter altogether.

----------------------------
This war criminal orchestrated more than a few coups as well.

Those darn white guys! They screw everything up for everyone else. Should have left well enough alone, with that whole WWII thing.

Maybe he should have driven a car off a bridge with a young woman in it, walked away (staggered away), and let her drown.  THEN he would be a darling of the left.

It just hit me wrong.  They are all so upset about Chappaquidick (sp?), because it was about one of their heroes who straight up let a young woman drown.  Now they're pissed about Churchill?!  WTF?

It's a post by mal, so you got that right. For my part, I didn't know she hated any non-US people.

An example of lying by omission, from the article mal linked:

Quote
Dealing with unrest in Mesopotamia in 1921, as secretary of state for the colonies, Churchill acted as a war criminal: “I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against the uncivilised tribes; it would spread a lively terror.” ...

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill#First_World_War_and_the_Post-War_Coalition ,

Quote
In 1919, Churchill sanctioned the use of tear gas on Kurdish tribesmen in Iraq. Though the British did consider the use of non-lethal poison gas in putting down Kurdish rebellions, it was not used, as conventional bombing was considered effective.

I suspect mal's article is filled with similar lies-by-omission. This one was just the easiest to fact-check.

Say what they may, the man was effective and, war is hell.  There's not much I wouldn't do to stop a war.  How many lives were saved by the 100k+ we killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
