History=bad
WOK = good

That's not what I think. IMO, if someone or some group wants to honor a traitor, they should show that person in an appropriate pose such as bowing his/her head in shame or something like that. This thread morphed into a debate over who was nicer or did more bad things. To me, the point was - why would we honor a traitor? Simple as that. Does not matter how nice or mean they were.
