where do people get the idea that napoleon was some wonderfully herioc revolutionary? Your talking about a dictator that tryed to take over europe for no reason then satisfying his own ego and wallet, killing thousands in the process. This is someone who completely turned his back on the revolutionary ideas he claimed to represent becoming a de facto monarch with more power than most in the bourbon dynasty. How can anyone claim he was the hero of the french revolution when he was the complete antithesis of its ideals? He was a brutal imperialst monarch, surely this is exactly what the french revolution was all about opossing?
