Can you agree that we should not erect statues to people who fought against this country?

There is a George Washington statue in Trafalgar Square, London. Using your logic, would the Britons be justified in tearing it down?

I heard there's a big monument in Rome where they used to make slaves kill each other for entertainment. That's horrible, we can't glorify such disgraceful history by allowing it to remain a tourist attraction today. #TearItDown
