Re: How Will History Treat George W. Bush? How Doe He Compare To Other Presidents?
The issues mentioned in this thread are much too complex to be discusses so lightly.
The post from junglejim reminds me of the mytical Trilateral Commission of the 50's/60's where Rockefeller was accused to want to dominate the world. It is absurd. America, wanted or not is the only major player in the world today (as a single country) and all those insults and critics come with the job. I will like to see Mother Russia in this position and see how wil they do, or a Real Squizofrenic case like Venezuela's Chavez trying to unified Latin Americn behind him by showering them with the Venezuelan peoples oil, in the mean time Venezuela is in shambles with robbery, kidnapping, drugs, deep social and economic problems, hunger and lack of medical care, in a country that is inundated with dollars from oil. Or go to countries in Europe where the medicine is socialized and you have to wait years for a procedure, besides you can only go to the clinic and doctors assigned to you with no recourse to change. WE ARE THE LUCKIEST PEOPLE ON THE WORLD, and still complaining. power in this country is in the hands of the Pentagon, the Multinationals, Wall Street and big money. this is my understanding
