p> INTELLIGENT HISTORY br> Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.'s The Resolute President : /p>

You know your history as well as President Bush knows his.

Somewhere, somehow, the notion that victim hood and negativity were ennobling characteristics, only worthy of saints and poets, became vogue. From that it appears to have morphed into the belief that a criticism, ANY criticism, however unjustified, is a sign of intelligence. And so, many, in the media especially, aspired to intelligence by tearing down the character and ability of their President. All the while savoring their victimhood, justifying their negative approach.

It's a sign of silly, self-infatuated souls.

Your article touches on many truths. Unfortunately, truth, for some, is a matter of choice rather than acceptance. Some will always believe President Bush, a great President, was/is incompetent.

All we can do is choose our version of truth and support the man.
