If the antiBush cult was active in 1946
Truman would be hounded daily for not finding real German or Japanese atomic programs, FDR would have been in big trouble for aggravating the Japanese into attacking in 1941, The US would be in trouble for the behavior of the USSR after WWII, and the drumbeat of reporting every act of resistance to the occupation would be constant.
The hisotrical illiteracy demonstrated here by the antiBush cult and in the larger world by the NYT/LAT/WP is breath taking.
