wonder how he likes looking down from Mt Rushmore Interesting how the Presidency amplifies the traits of the holder. In the process, many "are found wanting", but a few "rise to the occasion". TR was one. I believe Truman was another. It is interesting to compare Truman and Bush. One faced the beginning of the cold war, the other, the war on terrorism. Radically different responses. After a careful analysis of how best to face the threat, posed by the Soviet Union, the US response was an overall global containment plan with specifics addressed toward Europe. These specifics included the Marshall Plan and NATO, because one without the other would not succeed. The plan worked well until the Soviet Union finally imploded. After 9-11 did we have a through analysis of the problem we faced? Was there any creative plan tailored to the circumstances we found ourselves facing? Reports have stated that both von Rumsfeld and his deputy Wolfowitz, made statements on 9-11, that now they could get Saddam. Why make a plan when you’ve already got a perfectly good one? How do you know it’s a good one? Oh, because you designed it. I see. Do you know what pride goes before? Don’t think we have many Rushmore candidates in the current admin., although politicalhumor.about.com JMO lurqer
