The same ones who made Lincoln a hero and greatest president. Long after Bush and his detractors/supporters are dead, the 43rd American president will be given the same treatment.

I'm not "pretending" anything....do you know why there is a forum area dedicated just to the USA? Do you know which nation has shaped the geo-political landscape over the past 100 years more than any other? Do you know what that nation's head of state is called? Hint: It is not Canada.

Yukon Jack Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 Exactly, who knew GW would be so good at writing fiction, eh... Poor attempt at sarcasm by someone who - sure bet- never read "Decision Point" because she was too cheap to buy it. Quote

Moonlight Graham Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 May as well get this thread started after what happened in Egypt....I hope President Bush is enjoying a nice cold beer in Crawford: All these developments seem to come as a surprise to the Obama administration, which dismissed Bush's "freedom agenda" as overly ideological and meant essentially to defend the invasion of Iraq. But as Bush's support for the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon and for a democratic Palestinian state showed, he was defending self-government, not the use of force. Consider what Bush said in that 2003 speech, which marked the 20th anniversary of the National Endowment for Democracy, an institution established by President Ronald Reagan precisely to support the expansion of freedom. "Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe - because in the long run, stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty," Bush said. "As long as the Middle East remains a place where freedom does not flourish, it will remain a place of stagnation, resentment and violence ready for export." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/01/28/AR2011012803144.html Bush is indeed talking through both sides of his mouth. Coming from a guy who has sleepovers with Saudi royals and has Bin Laden's family flown out of the country after 9/11. Self-government what?. Forcing democracy on a nation by the barrel of a gun isn't liberty, democracy, or "of the people, by the people, for the people". Forgot about the "of" and "by" parts i guess. We must wait and see what happens in Egypt, Iraq, and Afghanistan to judge it properly. Egypt is currently controlled by the military, skipping over anyone from the elected parliament, which has been was dissolved. Each country could suffer internal coups and/or authoritarian govs and/or fundamentalist theocracies. It also is yet to be determined how much of a factor the psuedo-democracies in Iraq/Afghanistan has had in the recent events. It is certainly not the only reason. What about globalization of ideas/media & exposure to western ideals, or the current economic downturn which greatly contributed to the poverty conditions that these people were protesting? But this does bring up an interesting debate, when looked at in the long-term, about security & the spread of "democracy" vs sovereignty, self determination, and overall cost to the "other" people.

Moonlight Graham Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 But there will be an outcome far different than the status quo...no? What would make you assume that? Even in Egypt.

GWiz Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 Poor attempt at sarcasm by someone who - sure bet- never read "Decision Point" because she was too cheap to buy it. Wrong... I didn't read it because I am well versed in the FACTS regarding George Walker Bush and when it comes to reading a fictional account of events that he wrote doesn't interest me... I have however read several reviews of the book and seen several interviews with Bush about "Decision Point" which brought me to that conclusion... BTW - No "sarcasm" intended it's a work of fiction because it's NOT factual... Quote There are none so blind, deaf and dumb as those that fail to recognize, understand, and promote TRUTH...- GWiz
Moonlight Graham Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 And we have Moroney's understudy Harper who managed to coerce the PC party to become reformers and is now doing his best to finish what Moroney started with HUGE deficit spending policies on borrowed money... Diefenbaker, Mulroney, Harper three peas in a pod when it comes to being BAD for Canada... You rake on these guys, but give Trudeau a free pass? Speaking of deficits and debt...
