[Vision2020] Most Americans out of step with Tony

[Sue Hovey]

I would say the American public in its judgment of Bush, is not being 
historically ignorant, but  perceptive in its assessment of the damage he 
has done and continues to refuse to recognize. It is true, of course, that 
war time presidents have been roundly criticized, but often justly so. 
James K. Polk comes to mind and others even more recent than he.  I think 
Pat is correct that we may well be repeating history, but if we are, its 
more closely akin to the history of the Vietnam era than World War II.
