cahn, if you aren't familiar with the "created a desert and called it peace" quote, it's been invoked fairly often in reference to current events throughout the ages. I first encountered it in reference to the treatment of the Scottish Highlands by "Butcher Billy" Cumberland (the favorite son G2 and Caroline of Anspach wanted to disinherit Fritz of Wales in favor of) after the Jacobites lost the battle of Culloden in 1746.
