I know this will reveal an unacceptable (in polite society) bias, but I confess to being bugged by this term. I prefer to consider it the Bay of Pigs Victory. See, I'm GLAD the invasion failed. The Cuban people and their revolution WON which is a good thing. You know, sovereignty, self-determination and all that.:

And, I'm politely telling you in the best way I can.

I feel the same every time I hear Burgess-MacLean called 'traitors'. Too whom I ask? Just to a bunch of self appointed elite inbred families.
