Let's be honest, he is neither stupid nor evil. The question is loaded and unfair. Mr. Bush is an intelligent man, with stong convictions and is a better than average politician. He also has surrounded himself with intelligent, savvy people who assist him and indeed guide him down the dangerous path that is the Presidency. All this being said, it appears (to me) that his assumptions and beliefs, as well as many of his top advisors, are misguided and in fact are doing damage to our nation and the international community. Many people who are smart make bad decisions and this President has had some great challenges thrown at him, he just hasn't made too many great decisions.
