{{data.pair|Text|by David Halberstam (Halberstam was killed in a car wreck 2007-04-23, so this must have actually been written before that): “In the twilight of his presidency, [[George W. Bush]] and his inner circle have been feeding the press with historical parallels: he is [[Harry Truman]] - unpopular, besieged, yet ultimately to be vindicated - while Iraq under Saddam was Europe held by Hitler. To a serious student of the past, that's preposterous. Writing just before his untimely death, David Halberstam asserts that Bush's "history," like his [[US-Iraq War|war]], is based on wishful thinking, arrogance, and a total disdain for the facts.”</let> | {{data.pair|Text|by David Halberstam (Halberstam was killed in a car wreck 2007-04-23, so this must have actually been written before that): “In the twilight of his presidency, [[George W.
