Bush Hatred: The Sequel

Once more around, all because he reacted to 9/11.

(Page 2 of 2)

President Bush felt that conviction, and he acted on it.

If Iraq stabilizes anytime soon, and provides a liberal democratic exemplar that inspires the Muslim Middle East out of the Dark Age in which it has wallowed the last millennium, Bush will eventually be ranked with Lincoln and Roosevelt among our greatest presidents -- for the very reason that he championed American values.

Bush-haters, in turn, will join the long ranks of history's laughingstocks.

Past wrongs don't justify those of today. To imply that the detainees of Abu Graib should be thankful they weren't in an American Civil War era prison, is beyond irrational, it's irrelevant. It's like Angela Merkel sayin she could kill just a few Jews, because Hitler killed many many more. I know this comment comes late in response. But I am researching the conservative movement's staunch support and then quick departure from the Bush they created.
