Myths and Realities of the George W. Bush Presidency

I think that President Bush has got one thing very much right, which is that Arab-Islamic terrorism is a symptom that something is rotten in the Middle East. If anything, his failures in Iraq and Palestine are due to underestimating the degree of rot. For all the allegations of his lack of intellect, George Bush is a brainiac compared to people who want to see terrorism as a symptom of something rotten in the United States or Israel. - Arnold Kling

I voted for GW twice. But, got soured by his illegal immigrant amnesty and I'm not sure we shouldn't have gotten out of Iraq once we found out they had no WMD. I don't say we SHOULD have, I just think we got into a mess with no easy answers. Democracy will never work in Iraq. We don't want the Iranians calling the shots, and now there's no Saddam to keep them in check.
