I hate to admit this, because it just gives some of you more ammunition to hurl "educated idiot" slurs at me, but I happen to hold a bachelor's degree in....drum roll....HISTORY!!! I've studied every war in which America has been involved and many that it hasn't, and let me let you in on a little secret, Eli:

What you and I and everyone else on this forum say right now is idle speculation. When the history books are written on this sad chapter in American History, Bush, his cronies, and his war will be exposed as the liars, thieves, and murderers that I and others, including Colin Powell and Gen. John Abazaid to name but two, already know them to be.

You won't be standing there for me to rub it in your face when it becomes accepted fact, but that's not my style anyway. Historians ALWAYS have the last word, and Bush is in for a decline in reputation roughly similar to that of Michael Jackson, except at least THAT freak didn't KILL anyone.


Unless you are predicting a fall of the United States, the Historians will side with the official version. Historians don't write the truth, only the winning version of it. Had we lost WWII, the history of Pearl Harbor would have been: The US for the only time in its history moved its entire Pacific fleet into the same place, a move of seeming intent to attack, gathering of the strengths if you will.

Even now, speaking of nuclear weapons we fail to speak of the first victims, the US did do human testing before Japan. And what about the forced repatriation of Russians fleeing from Stalin? Or are you saying History in all of its Perfection looks down on Roosevelt for those crimes? I guess he wasn't involved in such events. Try looking up Andrey Vlasov and read a bit about the 2,700 Cossacks. They surrendered to the US.

How about Eisenhower and the three presidents after him and their little excursion to Vietnam? Eisenhower is at worst thought of as "lackluster", we won't mention Kennedy, and of course Nixon. Who would have thought that two of the most fondly remembered post-WWII presidents would be responsible for that war? So perhaps Bush ain't got as much to worry about as you would hope.
