Thank you, President Bush
Go to Mission 1 Accomplished and click to sign a thank you to President Bush for keeping us safe since 9/11. I have my issues with his tenure in office but that isn’t one of them. I think he made some poor decisions on other fronts but I am very grateful that he didn’t let public opinion polls sway his resolve on Iraq and terrorism. Yeah, I wish he had been a bit more aggressive about taking it to the terrorists, but he did what he was able to do, I think. Letters left there along with signatures may be presented to his Library in the future.
In addition, I just would like the man to have some kind of good feedback. It is obvious he didn’t run his Presidency with feedback in mind but he is human, after all. Knowing that the whole nation doesn’t think he was a miserable failure might be nice.
I think history, if allowed to be written truthfully, will show him in a favorable light as far as combating terrorism goes at the very least. But, history is written by the winners and it may take a long time and a lot of effort to get that truth out there. I’m sure textbooks written in the next few years will portray him as a horrible fascist failure. It is up to us to balance the education kids around us get from the school system. Balance it with another point of view. If we survive long enough, the fruits of President Bush’s efforts will be seen in an accurate light.
