Anyway, I don't agree with this at all. If you rewrite history, lessons will be lost and forgotten. If you forget history, not only are you doomed to repeat it, you also lose that sense of progression.
history is constantly revised and rewritten all over the world.

When I went to primary school, Australia had never been attacked during the second world war, now we find that over 540 raids on Australian territory occurred.

History rewritten.

There are so many examples of this happening whether you agree with it or not. It will happen many times in the future, it has happened many times in the past.

And unless you are a citizen of the USA, this particular mooted change matters very little in terms of the impact it has on world affairs.

History is not set in stone, if you believe otherwise you will be fooled time and time again.
