You know, Reagan did a great deal towards bringing down the Soviet Union. At the time I did not agree with all of his actions. However, his domestic policies were IMO brutal and ineffective (no one has yet to convince me that "Trickle Down Economics" is a viable theory...) So, if in two years it turns out that Bush is right about Iraq, I will commend him on that point, but I still have enormous disagreements in regards to tax policy, social policy, fiscal responisbility, environmental policy...you get my drift. I just don't see politics as simple as that.

By the way, the original question was if in two years we are in a true mess, but frankly I think we already are in a true mess, it will only be worse in two years.
I agree with this statement. If I were to choose a single issue, however, it would be the Supreme Court and judicial appointments over the war.

The answer being: I don't see how Bush could do positive by our country because I am concerned with his appointments that will remain throughout our lifetimes.
