Firstly, youre named after napoleon, so.... :laugh:
secondly, do some research before you read a name and decide the person is evil. He wasnt an oppressor, he was a commander and a highly regareded one. Allegedly one of the most important commanders in Iberian history.

But I did do some research. I didn't decide anything until I read about him. Why would you presume that I hadn't?

In his speech, Zayid reminds his troops that the most important objective of the mission is religious conversion.

He wasn't an oppressor? What was he doing in Spain?

In any case, my point is that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. For you, Zayid is a hero; for me, he's an invader.

As far as my handle, that is a reference to Dylan.

Thankfully it's not 'bomb' the boats in reference to an old Forgotten Rebels song 'bomb the boats feed the fish'

...because that would be inappropriate
