Unabashed Media Bias
This week marks the 60th anniversary of America's use of the atomic bomb in Japan. As is to be expected there has been a significant amount of media coverage of this anniversary, including this article from USA Today.
Basically its an overview of the issues at the time containing the all too typical hand-wringing we've come to expect when about whether or not we should have used the bomb come up.
What I'm wondering, however, is why this little tid-bit found its way into the article:
What does George Bush and the war in Iraq have to do with Hiroshima and the events of sixty years ago?
Talk about a bitter, partisan cheap shot. Sheesh.

Truman will be remembered as the president who brought us both victory and peace in a war that was justified and necessary. By contrast, self-proclaimed "War President" George Bush has brought us neither victory nor peace in the Iraq war, which former president Jimmy Carter this week called "unnecessary and unjust."
What does George Bush and the war in Iraq have to do with Hiroshima and the events of sixty years ago?
Talk about a bitter, partisan cheap shot. Sheesh.
