Mike ... Bush may in fact have turned years of foreign policy on its ear, but calling it progressive is unmitigated horseshit.

In my "uneducated morons" opinion (that's what you thnk of everyone who doesn't think just like you, isn't it?), Bush has cobbled together a number of failed 19th and 20th century ideas (colonialism or it's cultural cousin, neocolonialism; conventional military operations against gurellia forces).

The bold action taken as a result of 9/11 - the invasion of Afghanistan - was the only course of action that could be taken. Regardless of the mantra of the ignorant and the bobblheads, John Kerry would have done it, Hillary Clinton would have done it, Al Gore would have done it, Teddy Fucking Kennedy would have done it. You've got to get out to the lunatic fringe (Kuccinich?) before it is reasonable to assume there would have been any waffling. And yeah ... the Taliban are gone for now.

When the history of the war on terror is written, the war in Iraq will be regarded as a collossal mistake. I think George Bush will be regarded in history as Churchillian ... as in Galopoli. Brave, bold action indeed - but a futile sacrifce for no practical gain.
