"I'm absolutely convinced that some day, 50 or 60 years from now, an American president will be speaking to an audience saying, thank goodness a generation of Americans rose to the challenge and helped people be liberated from tyranny," Bush said. "Democracy spread and the world is more peaceful for it," he added.
THIS sounds more like the President. The other sounded as though he was defensive and concentrated entirely on himself. I'm sure that was unintentional by the writer. [sarcasm]
I'm not certain when he'll get the due he deserves. Reagan only got a taste twenty years later, and he died before that happened. G.W.B. could live 40 years and I suspect so long as he lives they will do everything in their power to deny him credit even when the M.E. is the tourist destination of the world. I am confident in time he will be remembered well. I'm confident most other politicians during this time will not be.
Good catch but if you follow the link, that's the exact headline used.
Well said.
You are right but that's the headline submitted by AP. Our president will never get respect from MSM, academia or Euros until they wake up and realize he fights the fight for Western civilization. He goes where no man has gone before.
Much much sooner than 50 years.. it won't even take 'history' to show that GWB did the right thing, it's beginning to show now.. and would be further towards that end had the white flag party and their cohort leftist media got on-board from the get go instead of aiding the enemy and continually throwing sour grapes and bananas under the Military and GWB. But despite the defeatists GWB and our Brave Troops won't have to wait too long to see the fruits of VICTORY!!!
But you have to consider, we have to weed out a generation of those who are doing the writing, first.

I agree with him, they will. They shouldn't have to however. This nation has lost it's soul thanks to the left. I am sick and tired of them.
Agreed. Not just wrong word choice, but biased word choice. "Vindicate" in the first paragraph is better. "Prove me right" would be even better.
