...and ability regardless of their political differences with his. I know that FDR was very human and could carry a grudge, but he was the person who put Dwight Eisenhower in charge in Europe and MacArthur in the Pacific and had General Marshall prepared with a plan to rebuild Europe in the peace which followed.

The model for post Iraq conflict that George W. Bush seems to be using resembles that of the Stalin post war doctrine than anything used by the allies to rebuild Europe after WW-II, IMHO.
