Bold Ruler,
While agree with much of what you say, it might be time to take a drive up the Jersey side of the Hudson to Tappan. Just take 9W north.
The site is now called the '76 House...good food there btw.
Anyway, the tree is gone but the historic marker remains.
It's where a man named John Andre was hanged after he obtained secrets to support the British cause.
I'll just say that war brings out the worst in human nature, not the best.
Whether it happened "yesterday" or "today", it's the same story, again and again.
One man's "terrorist" is another one's "freedom fighter".
The victors get to label their judgement and write the text books.
Peace!
