Should history be stated objectively?
yannis: What would you tell your kids about Bush2, Bush1, Vietnam? Korea? Hitler? Stalin? Slavery? The Spaniard Conquest of the America? The Ancient Greeks? Can you hide the truth. Not really and the further you go back the easier it is for the current politicians, educators and parents to let kids see facts clearly rather than through tinted glasses.As for the oppressed  seeking revenge once they know what happened, you need to teach your kids acceptance of other cultures and to live in harmony with the world (irrespective if you German or Jew, black or white). Cultures take a few centuries to forget (they don't need history)! We also need to teach kids OBJECTIVITY that is what most grown-ups miss!
