Revisionism

President Bush, who will visit Moscow on the 60th anniversary of the "liberation" of Eastern Europe by Soviet forces, wants the Russians to renounce the occupation of the Baltic states.

But Russian leaders have accused Bush of revisionism. They insist that Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia "willingly" accepted Soviet occupation, subjugation, and denigration.

And they're absolutely right. In fact, these countries accepted the Soviets with no less glee than the Iraqis have of their occupiers.
