What could be a greater evil when a nation willingly & happily slaughters other humans at will, simply because it can and knows that there will be no consequenses to their actions? And then they all go to Church on Sunday in their Sunday best. A sick bloody nation.

THe inaccuracy it is not because of state generated and propagated propaganda and power, though that is the tool, it is because the Actors in Charge are allowed to maintain state secrets. The secrets state make possible for the Actors in charge of the state to use their power to propagandize a population denied knowledge by the rule of law. State secrets are what make wars in foreign lands possible. I disagree your reason "History is never accurate".

Henry Kissinger says Obama will establish it..or rather, finish what his predecessors started. i hope the New World Order which is looming near will allow us to express our opinions freely (if I'm around when it happens).

No wonder there are similar bloodlines for presidents. They perpetuate the same mistakes and evil actions. Truman continued the wrong headed policies of FDR as Obama is continuing those of Bush.

U.S. and British technicians studied the effects of the many firebombings in Germany and worked continually to improve upon them. When the Japanese home island came within range of the B-29s in 1944, the technique had already been honed to a fine science. For details, see Jörg Friedrich's _The Fire: The Bombing of Germany, 1940-1945_.

Well, unlike the Germans and Japanese, he was on the side that won. No war crimes trial for Saint Harry. Harry Truman–the failed haberdasher, the "Senator from Pendergast," was a war criminal.

I never used to feel that way, but I do now. Truman should have been hanged for killing tens of thousands of defenseless babies in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Media is just a tool used by governments who distort facts to gain the upper hand. Unfortunately these distortions are often recorded as history.
