I don't think anyone mentioned that most of Vlad's bad Rep. came from German Pamphleteers printing propaganda in order to justify their own power grab in the region. <BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure we have reasonably correct info on bushie.<BR/><BR/>Oh and there is thought that he was basically bat shit insane from his imprisonment as a child and the murders of his father and Brother by the Boyars (rich business people).<BR/><BR/>He also didn't pretend very hard to be "christian", then again the Church was trying to get his kingdom too if I remember my McNally and Florescu correctly.<BR/>(all this and, I'm not even Romanian!)Schlaue Frauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571638654917952340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-82867353158132588622007-11-11T01:17:00.000-06:002007-11-11T01:17:00.000-06:00Interesting, but I'm sticking to my guns; Bush is ...Interesting, but I'm sticking to my guns; Bush is the Caligula of the 21st Century.

I heard many bizarre tales of the various ways he crushed his foes. He's kind of like a really violent King Arthur. <BR/><BR/>And he has a big mustache, and looks nothing like Dracula. The vampire thing has pretty much nothing to do with it.<BR/><BR/> They hate George Bush, though.<BR/><BR/>In Vlad's defense, however, he had a crummy upbringing, being kidnapped by, I think, the Turks and living much of his life as a prisoner. Nothing like that ever happened to Bonnie Prince Georgle that would explain his violent tendencies.princelyfrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07409894725472238602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-17519912278926901722007-11-10T13:00:00.000-06:002007-11-10T13:00:00.000-06:00In all fairness, one must also realize that the Ot...In all fairness, one must also realize that the Ottoman empire at that time was an expansionist power. Vlad's country was a tiny one and the Ottomans were huge. It wasn't a situation where Vlad was fighting Muslims for merely being Muslims. Vlad was fighting for his country against the invading Ottomans. Vlad was also trapped between two powers in the Hungarian Empire and the Ottomans, so he was not in the same situation as bush. In addition, Vlad had been a hostage of the Ottomans in his youth and had suffered somewhat at their hands, so it couldn't be surprising that he wouldn't be so nice to them when they attacked his people. The times were also different. It was the time of the Wars of the Roses where people were routinely tortured in England. It was also the time of the Inquisition in Spain which weren't noted for being particularly kind and gentle.<BR/><BR/>I would maintain that bush is a whole lot worse given that now we are supposed to be more enlightened and "christian" and indeed bush has made much hay out of his compassionate nature. I don't believe Vlad ever claimed to be a compassionate conservative. <BR/><BR/>Just sayin' (btw full disclosure, I'm not Romanian but my wife is.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-44635481764180165792007-11-10T11:54:00.000-06:002007-11-10T11:54:00.000-06:00Back then, Vlad's army captured a large number of ...Back then, Vlad's army captured a large number of enemy soldiers.
