I think you are demeaning any valid position you may hold by your contortions over Churchill's well-known and repeatedly documented racism and imperialism. But maybe that's the fashion nowadays among sophisticated thinkers?: " I want you to think very seriously over this question of poison gas. I would not use it unless it could be shown either that (a) it was life or death for us, or (b) that it would shorten the war by a year. 2. It is absurd to consider morality on this topic when everybody used it in the last war without a word of complaint from the moralists or the Church. On the other hand, in the last war bombing of open cities was regarded as forbidden. Now everybody does it as a matter of course. It is simply a question of fashion changing as she does between long and short skirts for women."* https://archives.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHU407A.html https://archives.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHU407A.html
