 BartendingBear says: One phrase sums it up for me... anti-American. I'd like to see the Pro Bush crowd provide their list of his accomplishments that will give Bush a positive legacy. I am honestly astounded that there are still people out there that think positively of Bush and his administration. Self-delusion is a powerful force. What will GWB's leagacy be? One phrase sums it up for me... anti-American.I think we actually agree, Bartender. However, think about how this "anti-American" legacy will be viewed in the context of history that has yet to unfold. Think about 50, 60, 80, 100 years in the future. Now, I grant you that my opinion is based on some assumptions, but so is everyone's opinion when we speculate about things like this. Though, I strongly oppose Bush, and believe he could be remembered as the President that destroyed America, I also believe it is highly plausible that he will be viewed as one of the greatest President's in history from an international standpoint. The goundwork of the ... In my opinion, unless there is some movement back toward Constitutional principles and a more incremental mindset, then Bush's legacy will be positive. If, however, there is a period of American and European libertarian revival his legacy will be similar to W. Wilson, except possibly more negative. In an internationalist sense, the case can be made that W. Bush may have laid more groundwork for internationalism than any president in history. Quite likely whatever his "legacy" it will be short lived in terms of history books. "No one gets out Alive" (to record or remember him). I'm with you bartending..but I would say anti-humanistic, never mind anti -American..('youse guys"sometimes forget there are others of us (i.e. Canadians, all 33 million of us) whose lives this asshole's decisions have also affected in one way or the other..thankfully not as much as you, but still..we are following the election process 'down there' with bated breath to see if surely to god you can't get someone in there with a lick of common sense, a conscience, and would it be too much to ask for someone with empathy? I, by the way, am with Hilary, but I'll take Barack with no qualms if I have to..even if he doesn't have a clue about NAFTA. Well said dollface, for all of us who have to put up with Georgie Porgie around the world. Is Canada benefiting by the decreased value of the American dollar? If so, then he wasn't all bad for the rest of the world ... What Will George W. Bush's Legacy Be?Should be a Wiser American Voter MISSION ACCOMPLISHED or Driving over the toes of dead US servicemen's mothers at Crawford, Texas. Cindy Sheehan? I agree with Dollface Our PM does what ever Bush wants. Malignant narcissism! Bear I agree, anti-American - all of the neocons fit that description. |
