Daily Kos notes the anniversary of VE Day:
CHEERS to real “Mission Accomplished” moments. Today is the 63rd anniversary of VE Day, commemorating the surrender of the Nazi terrorists during World War II. If Bush and had been in charge, we’d probably still be fighting that war … in Mexico.
This blog has already explored that particular alternate history.
Kos also notes that today is Harry Truman’s 124th birthday, so go there and scroll down to the Bush-Truman debate:
Bush: Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.
Truman: In the circumstances, alarm is justified. The man who isn’t alarmed simply doesn’t understand the situation — or he is crazy. But alarm is one thing, and hysteria is another. Hysteria impels people to destroy the very thing they are struggling to preserve.
History’s interesting, isn’t it?

nazis as ‘terrorists?’
are you demoting them to that status or promoting them to that status?
without a whole lot of hot air added in digression, i always thought of nazis as just a plain old generic ‘bad guy’ enemy that was easy to identify at the time. sure, they held a kinfe at the throat of all of europe,
but then they didn’t really whip anybody important… nor for very long…
but then lets not get started on rehashing something neither of us was ever involved in.
