1998 should have been 1988.

Too right! I remember all kinds of horrible things said about Reagan by all kinds of people. His critics are rather thin-on-the-ground now, and Reagan is seen as a great US President (which he was).

It will be the same deal with GWB. He has been a fine wartime President and that is how posterity will remember him.

I remember it well.

I was a junior history major with an ambition to pursue a PhD. in history and become an historian. It puzzled me that so many academics thought they knew so much when in fact they had no clue.

The difference is that most people knew the historians were full of crap back then. Reagan was, and is, revered by a solid majority of Americans. Recently, even many of these historians have started to grudgingly come around. But there isn't a chance in hell that Bush is remembered as fondly by the country as Reagan is.
