But criticizing FDR because FDR because he didn't do "enough" to save the Jews is just so much 20/20 hindsight. His job was to save America, and he did a damn good job of it. (militarily)

And he was 1,000 times more "brutal" toward our enemies than George Bush ever dreamed of.
Thank God Durbin, Kennedy and our Star Media weren't around back then. The war would have lasted 20 years, and we would have lost 3 million men.
I don't think that it's a matter of criticizing Roosevelt for not doing enough.
This issue is that the museum erected a plaque that states -- affirmatively -- that there was nothing that he could have done that would have saved more Jews, and that even his bitterest critics agree that this is the case.
These historians are not trying to insert a new criticism of FDR into his museum, in my opinion. They are trying to correct the historical record which was distorted by the museum's curators.
