On this day (or tomorrow) in 1941, my dad saw Jap planes flying over his beloved Manila & American guns strafing them. A year later, he was part of the underground resistance movement against the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. 3 yrs in the jungle.

Not sure if intentional, but this piece seems a defense of the flawed and stands in stark contrast to the current ethic that demands the impossible of our leaders (and neighbors) and revels in taking them down for failure to meet unmeetable standards.

If it weren't for Winston Churchill, we'd all be doing the goose-step. Thinking about his life makes me realize, each of us is put here for at least one really important purpose; if that purpose is met, it almost doesn't matter what we get wrong. Thank you for the article!

Interesting stuff. Churchill and the Irish is also a problematic chapter.

You didn't even mention Churchill's role in brutally suppressing the IRA in the 1920's or his party switches between Tory & Labour. He was an extraordinary man who lived a very public life.
