As I originally wrote: We must stand up against people (like you!)
that re-write history for their own purposes. Mussolini was opposed by
US liberals during the '30s, while he was supported by US
conservatives. That's a historical fact that you can't escape, "donki
dix"!

Since you mention Mussolini, this is as good a place as any to mention my
shock and bewilderment at the McCain campaign's use early in the general
election period after the conventions, of a pose of the candidate, in
television spots, that looked to me exactly like the famous photos of
Il Duce. Didn't anyone in that campaign have a clue?

BTW, why is this thread cost posted so promiscuously (reading it in R.R.S)
