What the Left said 6 months after WWII

[ChicagoMaroon]

AMERICANS ARE LOSING THE VICTORY IN EUROPE
- John Dos Passos, Life Magazine Jan. 7, 1946

Some select quotes:

We?ve lost the peace,? men tell you. ?We can?t make it stick.?

Never has American prestige in Europe been lower.

The taste of victory had gone sour in the mouth of every thoughtful American I met.

The time has come, for our own future security, to give the best we have to the world instead of the worst.

This begs the question: Has the Left ever been right about anything? I should save a New York Times to show my grandkids 50 years from now how incredibly wrong the Left was about Iraq too.

Didnt we just do this?

well obviously left cannot be right and right cannot be wrong. therefore vote as you are told if you want to preserve democracy...

If I'm not mistaken . . . wasn't it the left that was begging America to intervene in the name of humanity . . . while the isolationist right was saying it was none of our business?

You are correct Balibaby. Could some of you people be smart enough to forget about this left/right liberal/conservative crap. We all want pretty much the same g0d d@mn thing. Assigning people to little groups really doesn't get us anywhere.....

I'm still waiting for the WMD's that could be ready to be launched in 45 minutes.

Very true. Republicans were refered to as ostriches due to the head-in-the-sand mentality toward Hitler. Not to mention the America First policy.
