There are a lot of historians lately who have been going off on this kind of rant.

I had to read a book this last semester by an idiot named Bruce Cumings. The whole thing was a rant about how evil the United States is, especially for the "war crimes" and "genocide" we perpetrated during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. He believes that during World War II, the United States was on the same level as Nazi Germany.

He also spends almost the entire preface on a mindless Bush bash. “Bush stole the election.” “He was selected not elected.” “Bush is an idiot.” “He lost the popular vote so he really didn’t win.” (One would think Cumings, who is probably an intelligent person, would remember that the so called “popular vote” doesn’t mean anything in U.S. Presidential elections.) Even the tragic event involving the U.S.S. Greenville is used to lay blame at the feet of President Bush. Then he implies that the President is totally over blowing the threat of Islamic terrorists and using Sept. 11th as an excuse to continue a Cold War mentality. All of this of course means that the President is also responsible for the continuing problems with North Korea. According to Cumings, has the U.S. just continued the policies of Bill Clinton, everything would have been just fine on the Korean Peninsula.

I seem to recall hearing that Clinton lost the popular vote, at least once. They don't seem to remember, or complain, about that much.
