History classes are pretty biased pretty much everywhere. I've met people from Germany who had never heard of the holocaust for example. Meanwhile how many people realize that we had concentration camps here for Japanese Americans during WW2? Or what American has ever heard of Dresden, Germany? Honestly someone should have been nailed for war crimes related to Dresden but you almost never hear about it in America and certainly never in our history classes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:318374 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
