Facts are facts. They are seperate from political considerations. Just like it is a historical fact that the U.S. overthrew the British to establish this country. Are you going to try to deny that based on some left-looney conspiracy? It is an historical fact that the U.S. overthrew democratic governments all around the world (Iran, Guatemala, Chile, etc.) over the past 50 years. Ignore reality if you wish. That's your choice. History will remain the same whether or not you choose to ignore it.
