1. Great Article

Especially:
"At home, FDR mobilized American industrial power to provide the needed equipment for our forces and those of our allies. His fireside chats focused on calls for national sacrifice, but his concern for the troops was also very personal. My father and all three of his brothers were on active duty—in combat—in the Marine Corps, the Navy and the Army Air Corps. Their sister, Anna, and their mother, Eleanor Roosevelt, ministered to the soldiers and sailors with the American Red Cross. They shared the common sacrifices with ordinary Americans both in uniform oversees and in factories, homes and offices all over America.

Where are George W. Bush's personal sacrifices? Where are the inspirational words meant to mobilize America now?"


. . ."For Bush to grant himself this title is an insult to my grandfather and the inspired leaders who led this country in wars that were just. To put it simply, George W. Bush has not earned the right to be called a War President."

George W. Bush is an insult to America.
