Historians Show Bias Not Objectivity on Bush

Dallas Blog | Bob Reagan:

“The 'Points' section in The Dallas Morning News features four academics expressing their views on how history will view President George W. Bush. ... Well, the jury is still out – or to put it politically incorrectly, the fat lady hasn't sung – on Iraq yet. The results will be inconclusive even as Bush leaves office, and may be for some time afterward.”

Ed Cognoski responds:

Historians understand how a president's standing can change over time. All four of the historians' essays made that point. So, cheer up. George W Bush's reputation might still be rehabilitated in the coming decades. Maybe future historians will someday come to value cronyism, corruption, disdain for law, and unnecessary wars launched under false pretenses and prosecuted disastrously.
