Better late that never in my response.
I agree completely with this assessment and with the comparison between President Bush and President Lincoln. I have long seen that association given the profound and unpopular adversity each faced. The hardest decision is often doing what’s right even when the majority wish to do what’s wrong simply because it is the easier path. An excellent article, but many that have commented who oppose its logical conclusion are both ignorant and misinformed. Their desire to twist history is really quite pathetic and insulting. But, it demonstrates what lengths they are willing to go in order to be right–even if they have to lie. Well, just as President Lincoln was not appreciated in his time and even hated (so much so that he was killed by those that oppose his policies), President Bush will also be vindicated by history (May he become the next president to be placed on Mount Rushmore) and of that, I have no doubt.
Semper Fi Mr. President on a job well done–your presence and leadership is extremely missed!
