| An odd litany. You do understand, I hope, that FDR did not contract polio until he was a middle aged man, and therefore it had nothing to do with his lack of service. Your smear of those surrounding Bush is interesting, but worthless, since, whether you believe it or not, one can support Bush's actions for national security reasons as well as other things. Actually, Roosevelt did a poor job of anticipating the actions of the Soviets in the post- war period, and it took the Marshall Plan, which arose under Truman, to figure out how to get Europe back on its feet. The "A bomb/ Mars" contrast is puzzling, rather opaque. I have seen the footage of the classroom visit, and, for the most part, Bush was not reading, but listening to the teacher and the students brag excitedly about their demonstration. Aside from that, what do you know about what FDR did immediately after learning of the attack on Pearl Harbor? Maybe he brooded for awhile over a scotch and water........ |
