I could have it wrong---I read so many books preparing to write "America's Victories," but I think this is the guy who warned about the Christian fundamentalists taking over our military policy, and how we need to return to good old heathens like FDR running things.

Absolutely right on GW: the more I read about him, the more I discovered he and Bush have MANY of the same characteristics. (No, Bush is not GW, but . . .) Both, for example, absolutely refused to say anything nasty in public about their enemies. Washington was being stabbed in the back by Lee and some of the other generals, who were mental and strategic midgets compared to him, and he still treated them with respect and honor due them.

I recently read a GW biography, and I was surprised to see some similarities as well. Not just that, but the poisonous tone of the political rhetoric. "King George" and all that, the claims that his political enemies made about him, you can hear the same shrill voices today..
