Bush: Why not? Jim Baen's many kindnesses. Crunch time. Plus more.
(Page 2 of 9)

Honest Abe would be turning in his grave if he knew about Mr.
Lord’s comparison with the current president. I’m afraid that none
of the Bushes, past or present, have much of a handle on “the
vision thing.” Abraham Lincoln’s vision concerned the unity of this
country, not the unity of a country on a different continent that
was formed for expediency by foreigners after World War I. And what
is the president’s vision exactly? Is it to capture weapons of mass
destruction? Is it to remove a brutal dictator from power? Is it to
promote democracy in a region where it never existed? Abraham
Lincoln’s stature as president was so phenomenally greater than
that of George W. Bush that I consider Mr. Lord’s column an
un-American sacrilege.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Jeffrey Lord. This is exactly my sentiment but you found a way to express it in perfect verbiage. Now if the rest of the world will just “get it” we’ll be in great shape!
