Amerika has its own Putin
in Bush.
Our civil liberties and democratic republic are pulling up the anchor and getting ready to sail away. The only GOP who will stem this (among the ones with even a chance) is McCain. http://www.slate.com/id/2168718/fr/flyout |

Yet Nixon's initiatives in China were truly groundbreaking, even subversive to conservative dogma at the time, and all for the greater good. His diplomacy for better or worse remains the stuff of high historical drama, even legend, and among many consreviatives he retains a mystique as a brilliant albeit damaged person and leader. Bush has Nixon's dark side, and none of his complexity and positives. He'll go down in history as a shallow, mean, dogmatic little man in the thrall of his mendacious handlers who got us mired into a decade long and pointless war and disgraced us as torturers and civil righs abusers. It was always quite ambiguous who bore the fault for getting us into Vietnam between Johnson and Kennedy, and there was much sympathetic understanding that this was a sort road to hell is paved with good intentions enterprise that unfolded gradually. It's clear Bush got us into Iraq, and by invading a sovereign state on a false premise. He's certainly the least respected and worst president of my life. |
