President Bush was in Hungary today celebrating the 50th anniversary (4 months shy) of the “rebellion” which left 2,700 Hungarians dead when Eisenhower refused to send aid even though desparate Hungarians, rebelling with force against communist rule radioed their desperate need for help. Maybe they just didn’t have enough oil.

I think the whole charade about celebrating their “rebellion” was jumbled into his European trip as a bullshit pretense for the war in Iraq. Not that I disagree with the war in Iraq–I just hate to see those 2,700 Hungarians who died because America refused to send aid used as pawns to support a present war which is based far more on securing petroleum resources than with securing freedom in the modern world.

Fight on bros.
