GWB Legacy

Considering how much you dislike him, Don, it is very nice to see this post.

Two other things that can be added are that his administration has protected our oceans more than any other and offered more assistance for wetlands restoration. The latter, by the way, was prior to hurricane Katrina. To this date I'm not sure New Orleans has taken advantage of this.

 

I think the long term consequences of invading both Afghanistan and Iraq will ultimately be very positive. At some point, people will thank GWB and the United States for liberating those two countries from a woefully backwards form of authoritarianism.

I also thinks GWB's lack of movement of Kyoto and climate change will, in hindsight, be viewed as smart and prescient, rather than backwards as it is today.

 

Hey, he has nowhere to go but up.
