Given how fickle people tend to be, five years is even stretching it. Some of the Arab extremists that hate us have found another reason to do so in Bush, but given that they were attacking us even before Bush came into office I think his influence (while certainly a big negative) is overstated.

Even as an opponent of the war, I must say that while it will likely take 75 years to undo the damage to Iraq wrought by Saddam, saying that Bush caused that kind of lasting damage is being a bit extreme and melodramatic.

The real question that our country needs to deal with is this: How can a political system as great as ours produce two complete bums to run for President?
