The Logic Off Topic list

I do not know, through all the quotings and requotings, who said this

>Imagine how worse it might be if Hitler, Tojo, Stalin, Krushev or Mao had
>fullfilled their wishes.

They are simply the they who lost. And what did these theys who lost do but 
try to remake the world in their image? And ... what of the theys who won? 
What did those theys also do but try to remake the world in their image?

To the victor goes the luxury of remaking the world in their image. That 
remaking never involves heaping praise upon the they they have defeated. 
Nor does it involve awarding them medals for their gallantry, writing songs 
about their uplifting presentations of humanity nor for their clear 
thinking and vision.

If the they who lost had instead been the they who won then would we not 
all now be debating just how lucky we were that the they who lost won while 
the they who won lost instead of us debating how good indeed it is that the 
they who won won and the they who lost lost.
