" Roosevelt led us thru the great Depression and WWII into a world which we dominated like no nation had before."

Roosevelt [administration] is not critized for that period of time but for setting in motion the ascendancy of world international communism in Eastern Europe and the Far East. We have had two wars since against communist nations plus Cuba and NK. Communist China and Russia remain formidable enemies. Dictatorships were Roosevelt's legacy which I believe Bush was rightly pointing out.

He is. Look closely at some of this posts on this thread.

This is wrong. He couldn't have done more to promote democracy than he did...or rather it's wrong to second-guess him in this way.

This is completely wrong. Dictatorships are the legacy of WWI. The leaders of that time failed utterly to grasp the enormity and consequences of modern warfare.
