President Bush targets Revisionist Historians, as did the Communists? Message from Yvonne:
Here is, for you, a very quick translation of one small part of the AFP press release which I have just sent a few minutes ago.
Strange that he speaks about revisionist historians and not Holocaust deniers... On Monday, the American president said that the war against Iraq was justified by the need to ensure the security of the United States, and he put the blame on the "revisionist historians" who doubt about its necessity.
This country (the States) has reacted against a threat represented by the Iraqi dictator. Now, some people would like to rewrite history, I call them "revisionist historians", Mr Bush said in a speech delivered in Elizabeth (New Jersey, East).
=====================
Ci-après un communiqué de l'AFP du 17 juin 2003. On y relèvera particulièrement le passage suivant qui concerne les historiens "révisionnistes" (et non "négationnistes"!):
Lundi, le président américain a affirmé que la guerre contre l'Irak était
justifiée par le besoin d'assurer la sécurité des Etats-Unis, s'en prenant
aux "historiens révisionnistes" qui mettent en doute sa nécessité.
"Ce pays (les Etats-Unis) a réagi à une menace représentée par le dictateur
irakien. Maintenant, certains aimeraient réécrire l'histoire, je les appelle
des +historiens révisionnistes+", a déclaré M. Bush dans un discours à
Elizabeth (New Jersey, Est).

US Has Descended Into Madness:
Britain must distance itself from America. I wrote recently that Blair has sold our country to America without our consent. I now think it is worse; he didn’t charge for this delivery of our future into the hands of George Bush. He gave us away.
