Oh, here it is ... Did Roosevelt provoke the war?
Okay, I didn't have to wait long for the next history revision. At a first reading of that revisionist polemic against FDR, I can find three truths. One, FDR did believe by 1941 that the U.S. needed to enter World War II if freedom and democracy in the world were to be saved from fascism. Two, there was opposition to our entering another European war, particularly in our midwest states, although it was waning by 1941. Three, FDR did wish that the first overt act of war come from the Axis side.
If we look at numbers one and three ... they don't seem all that bad, do they? Indeed, if we recast them into the reverse, they seem really bad.
As for the rest of what I read, I say, horse$*%t.
I think that about covers it for now, although I may have more to say at a later time. |
