Here is an interesting article from the Aaia Times that is more optimistic about the position of the United States than what is usually published. I like the title, which is a question Democrats should ask President Bush, "If you so dumb, why ain't you poor?"

One thing that has bothered me for a long time is the demand of Democrats and their MSM fellow travelers that President Bush lay out his plan for the war on terror. It should be obvious to anyone that it would be unwise to broadcast plans to the enemy. Democrats know that, but like to make political points by charging that Bush has no plan, or that his plan is failing. I can understand why the President would not share his plans with Democrats, since many of the Democrats would reveal the plans. That is a sad state of affairs, but I think it is the situation we are in.

Today I watched a program on the Military Channel about the run-up to WWII. It appeared that Roosevelt didn't let anyone in on his plans, assuming he actually had any. One consequence of Roosevelt's overall war plan, as opposed to Churchill's, was that Roosevelt "gave" Eastern Europe to the Russian Communists after the war. It may be that Roosevelt still believed, as many politicians at that time did, that communism was the wave of the future, and that he didn't realize how evil the Russian Communists were. The media and our Ambassadors did not give an accurate report of events in Russia at that time.

I think it was Truman who settled up affairs at the end of the war. He liked Stalin. He came away from the Potsdam conference saying that he was a fellow he could do business with. He didn't like Churchill.
