Results oriented history

Arthur Schlesinger Jr, and other polyps in our national intestine

No matter what happens in the Path to 9-11 battle, it has resulted in a cornucopia of  jaw droppers from the left liberal dancing bear road show.  Like this. A group of historians, including Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and Princeton University's Sean Wilentz, wrote to ABC parent Walt Disney Co. CEO Robert Iger, urging him to scrap the series. They said that permitting inaccuracies to heighten drama is "disingenuous and dangerous." "A responsible broadcast network should have nothing to do with the falsification of history, except to expose it," they wrote. "A responsible broadcast network ?" WTF? That laugh aside, if it's responsible he wants, than all  of his own recent work belongs in the dumpster. Mr. Schlesinger, for example,  wrote that the Bush administration's foreign policy "is alarmingly similar to the policy that imperial Japan employed at Pearl Harbor." !!  No matter what he once was, Schlesinger is now a full fledged member of the left's battalion of results oriented historians, which of course makes them not historians. Slusho, as we call him behind his back, is  among the leftist bubble heads who disseminate the false notion that Bush jumped into war with Iraq with no due consideration.  The President's appeal that the United Nations enforce their own resolution 1441; that he received a declaration from Congress endorsing his actions, and that he still delayed until popular opinion was turning against him for inaction, is nowhere acknowledged by Slusho, this charter member of our Brave New World.  Am I a bad person for ruing that  Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler gave the practice of  flushing  academia with harsh enemas a bad name?  Because our guys deserve a nice acid irrigation.
