I agree to some extent. My opinion of what we'll see.....
In 50 years he'll be seen as one who reacted with great passion and did what he thought best over the WTC crisis.
But he'll also be seen as having corrupt advisors around and not having thought out how to truly handle Iraq. But if there is Democracy there he'll be seen as having great vision..... if not.... he'll be viewed as a fool.
He'll be seen as divisive and polarizing but that the nation had been headed that way anyway.
He'll be seen as truly believing in what he did was best for the country and yet he ignored the majority.
He'll be seen as slow to do anything about Katrina and that it was the pinnacle and greatest example of how divided the country has become.
But was the slow reaction his fault? Possibly, he inherited a divided nation and did nothing but polarize it more, however, we as a people should have all rallied together and not worried about what our leaders did.
The biggest problem in the US today is we look to how government reacts and we follow, instead of what made us great to begin with...... the people leading and reacting and government following.
We are still the greatest nation in the world with the most caring and understanding peoples..... yet we have been so torn by our own passions we are scared to do and therefore we look to the government and press to tell us how to react.
Example:
WW2 we did what we had to do as a nation and while FDR may have been a great leader we as a nation banded together, looked out for 1 another and made sure we overcame.....
Today, WTC or Katrina happens, people are split, don't know how to react, go about their lives and are told how to feel, what to think of it and how to react.
Bush is not the problem, he is the symptom and the most visible so it is easy to attack him.... the true problem lies in each and everyone of us, as we have become lazy, passionless and more follower because we look for the easy ways out.........than hands on, strong and full of desire to be better and wanting to lead and never follow.
Today, America is without identity, we are in essence in a mid-life crisis and we'll work our way out of it..... and be bigger and stronger once we do.
