President Bush's Decency - No, Seriously

Michael Gerson, The Washington Post | November 7, 2008

Election day must have been difficult for President Bush. ++ In 2006, Iraq was mired in a chaotic maelstrom of violence and terror. ++ Now, “victory” would probably look something like the current Iraq. ++ Nevertheless, Bush is a pariah of the very party he leads. ++ It’s a shame that Iraq has served as “a solar eclipse, blocking the light on every other achievement.” ++ “I have seen the decency of George W. Bush” and it includes “identifying with the dying African child, the Chinese dissident, the Sudanese former slave, the Burmese women's advocate.”
