We could have a separate discussion (NOT on a netbsd.org list, I think)
on the question `are some things true whether everyone in the world
thinks so or not?'. I think you know what I would argue. :-)
My point is only to note the odd double standard by which an image of
soldiers who *objectively* accomplished freedom and democracy (whatever
you may believe their goals were) is `propaganda', but an image of
levelers who *objectively* achieved the Reign of Terror and a century of
violence is neutral (again, whatever you believe their goals were).
