The Legacy of Yalta
Written by Andrew on May 7th, 2005
Don’t look now, but President Bush actually had some intelligent things to say on foreign policy, specifically the sordid late-WWII dealings at Yalta.
For those who don’t know, the photo, which apparently some “clever” Canadian photographer who thought it would be funny to use trick perspective to put President Bush in the place of Joseph Stalin in the famous picture from the Yalta conference. I got it from Alvin Tostig, who is currently hyperventilating over the success of the Princeton Filibuster (he’s a fan).

What I couldn’t believe was that the White House allowed this picture to happen in the first place, especially because it was taken during the campaign.
Thanks for stopping by SRWU.

I wrote a while back about the Yalta meeting, in Feb. The reason I link to it again is that that the NRO piece I link to is brilliant on the topic.
Yalta is History

Well Dylan, I think the best explanation is that the Bush people are idiots.

There is, of course, no doubt about that…

Yeah, but the few Americans to actually notice are conservatives who are pissed because they know their history, unlike liberals who waste their time reading crap by Toni Morrison.

It’s basically unbelievable that Toni Morrison won a Nobel Prize. It’s impossible to put her in a class with T.S. Eliot, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Kawabata Yasunari, and the great Winston Churchill.
For that matter she shouldn’t even be compared to Graham Greene and Endo Shusaku, who never won the Prize.
I don’t think it’s necessary to even start on the “Peace” Prize.

Would just like to go on record as a liberal who’s never read Tony Morrison.

Yeah, my professor attempted to force me to read “Beloved” freshman year. It is a vapid bucket of tripe. I mean if you can write a book that justifies a woman sawing off the neck of her own child to “save” her from greater horrors, then you’re the moral equivalent of…oh wait…the Democratic party on partial birth abortion.
