Beinart is writing a bok and loking for a principled stand for liberalism in suport of national defense in the late 1940's. If he is honest he may find out that the much praised Hary Truman actually laid the groundwork for much sufering by ceding Eastern Europe to Rusia and by calling MacArthur home.
I respect your efficiency.
Beinhart's "honesty" to me is simply left-wing apologetics. I'm no fool.
