You forgot the fire-bombing of Dresden and the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Churchill, like Macdonald, did and said some pretty awful things but both should be evaluated on the overall balance of good and bad. On that basis, Churchill and Macdonald end up on the plus side but Hitler and Stalin seriously far on the negative side. As to the Confederate statues, they wrre never really to celebrate Lee or whoever else but to warn black people who the real bosses are. Wente, as usual, mixes and matches subjects with no real attention to relevance, the goal is to feed the strongly-held convictions of the far right.
