Really, we aren't all that different from those we end up fighting.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-9406173316703209162011-01-13T23:09:35.126-05:002011-01-13T23:09:35.126-05:00I liked this one as well when I read it a few mont...I liked this one as well when I read it a few months ago. I think one of the best parts for me was the extreme characterization. <br /><br />I like what you pointed out at the end of your post, and it is quite interesting to think about, isn't it? I had a similar experience when I visited the communism museum in Prague. They had propaganda posters that were against the evil Americans and how the US was going to kill old women and children etc etc. The funny thing was that they were almost identical to the propaganda posters the Americans had against the Communists (with slight alterations, of course). I feel as though it's always harder to look at how the other side thinks about things especially with the whole 'the winners write history' thing.Shehttp://www.historyofshe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
