Napoleon revisited

I've just read Rosa Montero at El pais newspaper from Spain.

"El patriotismo es siempre brutal y los patriotas admiran a los más brutos, a aquellos que han conseguido victorias para la tribu, sin que importen los precios de sangre y de terror, de injusticia y dolor que hayan tenido que pagar para la gloria bélica."

She wrote on some facts about Napoleon from Chateaubriand, wich show him as a bloody person, who toke desitions that killed many people, but not only from ennemies army, but from his own.

Now he is in our history books like a hero... May be heros are closer to us and not Always in history books.
