Jacob Heibrunn of the Los Angeles Times wrote on May 10, 2005:
"The claim that Roosevelt betrayed Eastern Europe at Yalta, and that he set the stage for 40 years of Soviet domination, is an old right wing canard ... Bush was simply engaging in cheap historical revisionism. His glib comments belong to the Ann Coulter school or history."
Nearly eight years before, Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott (Clinton administration!) had this to say:
"After World War II ... many countries in the East suffered nearly half a century under the shadow of Yalta. That is a place name that has come to be a codeword for the cynical sacrifice of small nations' freedom to great powers' spheres of influence."
