Listening to President Bush talk this week over in eastern Europe, I was taken aback by his apology for the division of Europe after WWII. Here is a man who can barely finish a sentence on his own, criticizing Franklin Roosevelt for the decisions made at Yalta.
Not only do we have to look at the fact that FDR was gravely ill, what about the fact that FDR knew that America was not ready to fight another war, this time against the Soviets. Most of us can only imagine the world as it stood at the end of disaster in Europe (not to mention the fact that we still had to fight a war in the Pacific).
I agree that it was not a great agreement, but it was the best that Churchill and FDR could get past Stalin. How does someone as lame as Bush criticize (60 years hence) a decision that was made based on so many factors that we still don't know why it happened? First Bush attacks social security, and now end of war decisions. What next?
That's Scotty's rant for the week.
