Teddy

"(Mis)judging" Teddy (or any other "leader") is not only a matter of 
temporocentrism but also ethnocentrism. If some of his subjects consider 
Teddy as the embodiment of legal virtue (or Reagan as "Great Communicator), 
outside the US many saw these guys in a much different light... as arrogant, 
self-serving, jingoistic meddlers... Great  Prevaricators. As a Chinese 
writer once said, "lies written in ink can never disguise facts written in 
blood."
