History !? (Four one-liners combo!)
Old History: In the time of Omar Ibn-El-Khattab, Arabic troops liberated the North-African countries from the Roman oppressive occupation and brought these countries into light.
Recent History: In the time of George W. Bush, the U.S.-led neo-crusader coalition invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, commited war crimes and suppressed many revolts by these countrie' own peoples.

Mr. or Ms. Anonymous,
what are you asking exactly? Have you read the post?
I didn't call anything liberation or invasion... Ask those who write the text books...

Ignore these eejits. Some poeple are too quick to jump to a conclusion. And too quick to force an ill-thought-through opinion onto others.
Your post raised a valid point about perception of the truth. In this case there is no such thing as the truth - only political and cultural indoctrination. Neither side is right. And both sides are wrong.
Just because people have died for a belief doesn't make it right.

Very well put! Value laden history terms are impossible to eliminate. And when you do, you're stuck wallowing in the depths of nihilism without reason for history.
