| Yes, he already is one of the greatest presidents. | |
| Yes, perhaps more information will become declassified that makes his decisions make sense. | |
| Yes, history may prove many of his assumptions were right. | |
| Maybe, anything is possible. | |
| No, what may come in the future is the result of his bad decisions. | |

Is it ''possible''?
Sure.
In 2012, charismatic backwoods preacher Nehemiah Scudder will be elected president by 27% of the popular vote (63% of registered voters will have voted, but fewer than half of eligible voters will be registered). During his first term, America will become a theocracy and no further elections will be held. During its middle years, Dubya will be viewed fondly as one of the "great men" who laid the foundation for the Interregnum.
Lincoln makes Dubya look like a piker
trials without natural justice; the suppression of habeas corpus; and also the warmongering. All these things are necessary in the lead-up to suppressing democracy to the extend necessary to take control of the Republic which will in time also lead to its collapse.
Are you talking about Abe Lincoln? Lincoln was responsible for the deaths of over half a million Americans. He suspended habeas corpus and jailed all of Maryland's important leaders for the duration of the war. He didn't give a crap about black slaves- the Emancipation Proclamation was political propaganda designed to keep the public in favor of the war and to keep the British off of the Confederacy's side.
BTW, he is regarded as one of the greatest presidents ever. For liberals, the ends always justify the means.
As for Dubya, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the surge, which is working, nor Iraq, which is quietly being won. Whine all you want about wiretapping terrorists' phone calls, or the scumbags wasting away in Guantanamo, but there hasn't been an attack on American soil since 9/11. You're deluding yourself if you don't see the correlation b/w the 'War on Terror" and that fact.
I guess THOSE ends don't justify THOSE means.

Depends... by NomadSoul :: NR6 :: Show
Unless something really radical happens, I suspect Bush will polarize people for a long time to come.
Much more capable men than Bush are still controversial hundreds or thousands of years later. Alexander, Napoleon, Qin shi-huang ti... depending on who you ask, these men did great things; or were egotistical tyrants who inflicted their personal ambitions and insecurities on countless numbers of people.
