IS IT 1946 or 1943? Fascinating post by Instapundit.

UPDATE: The president’s speech today certainly makes it sound like the latter. Jonah Goldberg writes, “Whether you think his ideas are monstrous or monumental, one thing’s assured: your children will be reading about this speech in school. Mark my words. The rudder of the American ship of state has moved sharply, changing the direction of world history. I believe for the better.”
