  Time changes the virtues of the terror

  Was Nat Turner a terrorist?

  Within the same generation that TECUMSEH terrorized the White Man in the USA, a towering American military man was given that name Maj. General William Tecumseh Sherman- did his parents somehow admire the leader of the Black Halk War?

  PONTIAC was ruthless. Torture and an inability to make truce with the American White Man gained him enormous noteriety- within a few generations U.S. Auto designers named a car after him- featuring his likeness on the hood!

  Nat Turner was pictured on a U.S. postage stamp back in the 1980's.

  Gush Imun and innumerable Israeli terorists are considered heroes in our land as well as in Zion.

  How about the Biblical and Koranic injustices upon innocents? The Holy Books are full of terror committed by the saintly.

  St Francis of Assisi was even involved in a crusade.

  St Joan? a fearless terror in her day.

  Think they'll be any likeminded revisionist history on the current batch of evil doers someday?

  Grahame Greene (the Native American hiustorian and actor) claims that Captain George Washington once caused a French- British world war by turning over French Prisoners from the Mononghahela conflict (sp) over to the murderous forces of the HALF KING who scalped them all, prizing their blonde and red locks for years.

  So what is this terror- the one that loses its terrorizing as the pages turn?
