Giving you shit about your Republican sympathies is hardly an insult, Valmy.  And I thought I was clear in indicating you only approved of very specific war crimes. Totally different.   :P
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Giving Valmy shit for being a French Revolution fanboy is always justified.

Ah ok. If you meant I only approve of war crimes against enemies of the people well then you should have specified -_-

Give me shit if you want but Burkean evolution makes for boring history.

And the terror would never have happened without the war.

:mellow:

What? That is hardly a new controversial idea. The war made everybody lose their shit.

And the war was decided by the Girondins, not the Jacobins. So Robespierre was a peace loving guy!

Well now lets not celebrate the Jacobins too much. Robespierre was rather out there in his fierce opposition to the war.

Are you sure? Marat, Danton, Desmoulins, even Hébert, the (future) Montagnards were not for the war. Now Brissot the Girondin...

I've always been a fan of Wetcunie.
