This is a topic Iraq-war supporters love to bring up, with some variation of “Imagine if Eisenhower had been criticized like Gen. Petraeus has been!” or “Imagine if liberals had fought FDR during World War II after Pearl Harbor the way they’re fighting Bush since 9/11.”
The best response, in the words of journalist/blogger David Neiwert: “It would now be 1949 and the president would probably be explaining why they hadn’t yet captured Hitler (he’s not that important, you know) and the invasion and continued occupation of India was the major battle front in winning the war.”
