I think Bush is as human as the rest of us. As an intelligent person, I won't bother making a judgement on Bush's intellect. I don't care if people think he's stupid. Stupid is quite a relative term. I think that Bush believes that he is doing the right thing for America. I don't buy into the Bush as Hitler scenario. I'm sure some Auschwitz survivors would probably tell you that living under Bush, is much better. I think as a human, he has made many mistakes, and I'm certainly not an apologist for him. Its a job I would never want. I can't imagine the pressure that a US President goes through. It amazes me that any president has survived a term let alone two. I have some degree of faith over the current administration, but I watch with an eagle eye. I still haven't made up my mind about 2004. Bush has a very brash approach to things, which is sometimes very necessary, and other times it can damage us. I think that many of his actions were necessary to begin with, but it may take somebody new to see them through. I believe that the middle eastern region will be better because of Iraq, but maybe not until somebody else takes over the helm. Which is unfortunate because the president that takes it over will get credited for it, even though they could not have set things in motion without Bush busting up the place first.
