The Blame Industry

"When things go wrong, someone will be blamed.

........SKIP

It seems logical to blame the people who led the country to war and the people who led the war into failure.

That's not what happens. Logic does not determine who will be blamed. The group that seizes the public relations high ground first determines who will be blamed.

In the Second World War the Germans and Japanese lost so completely that there was no one left to dispute the tale that the Allies told of their own heroism and Axis barbarism. The victors wrote the history. It seemed, in that moment, to be an axiom, automatically true. It's not.

............SNIP"

2. I'm one who says that Bush in power...at 31% will help Dems longer
than impeaching him. Then I'm not American so ignore me!
