'Bush Believes History Is On His Side'
Tim Marshall Foreign Affairs editor Updated:02:04, Monday June 16, 2008 George Bush believes that where the British Empire stumbled, what he calls 'Freedom's March' will succeed.
The American President was asked by Sky News about the British and Soviet experiences in Afghanistan.
He gave an emotional response which went to the heart of his foreign policy thinking:
"This isn't the American Empire, the British Empire or coalition empire; this is freedom's march. And freedom has had a way of taking hold in some of the places where people have never given freedom a chance.... I'm not surprised that an enemy that can't stand freedom is trying to shake our will."
Five years ago Mr Bush expressed the belief that the invasion of Iraq could result in a domino effect, spreading freedom across the Middle East.

Factual History will be....
Written History won’t.
As far as illegal immigration goes...it most definitely is not.
About time he started talking like this again. Words like these are Kryptonite to the Left.
Because “historians” have sold out to ‘social studies’ in a need to be recognized today.
I hope it effects them the same way.
I agree. The left-wing media will not be successful in turning right into wrong. Some things like no chilrenz left behind and the medcal drug benefitz will be blemishes, but standing up to terrorists and trying to destroy them will distinguish GWB from hilbillary clinton and jimmah carter who decided it was easier to appease evil.
As far as illegal immigration goes...it most definitely is not.

His legacy will carry this ugly scar to eternity. And so will Washington, DC and its gross malfeasance in handling illegal immigration, the impact to REAL American citizens, and the WILL OF THE MAJORITY.
I tend to agree.
It is.
History views Presidents through a long lens.
Domestic policy issues will be a footnote to his response to 9/11 attacks and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He will be remembered for removing the despotic Saddam Hussein from power and for a steady hand at the tiller of state, despite anti-war dissenters and the economic upheaval that followed the terror attacks. President Bush will be remembered, first and foremost, as having kept the nation on a steady course and safe from further terrorist attacks in the face of tremendous economic and political changes during his presidency.
GWB’s Domestic Policies are much more successful then his foreign ones IMO, Domestically we have done very well indeed.
Foreign Policy though, I think GWB may have run directly into the teeth of the Rise of the Autocrats, he is intellectually correct, the world however, is reaching for Authoritarians.
Bush had the right strategic goals in sight but the execution left much to be desired, mostly due to George W. Bush's abysmal communication skills.
Lincoln inspired the Union Home Front in spite of defeat after defeat: First Bull Run, Seven Days, Second Bull Run, Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg .....
Winston Churchill did likewise.
Ronald Reagan took us from the despair of the Carter years to the Shining City on a Hill and won the Cold War with his power of communication.
By comparison, George W. Bush was blessed with spectacular military victories on the battlefield but, by his inability to communicate, has allowed the Copperhead factions to so demoralize the American Home Front that he lost both Houses of Congress and has allowed the U.S. to be one Election Day away from declaring surrender and defeat.
History won't treat him kindly for that.
You have to admit that President Bush had a lot of help keeping his record of success from the American People.
I recall telling a friend that whenever we had a ‘news’ story on Brittany, Paris, Nicole Richie, or Anna-Nicole, that things must be going well in Iraq.
Network News: The more you watch, the less you know about the world.
Aside from his policies on immigration and spending, he made one huge strategic error....he didn’t purge the RATs from State, Pentagon and Justice. He had the whip hand and he passed on the opportunity in the name of the “new tone.” He totally misjudged the vicious partisanship practiced by the RATs. Cheney did him a disservice by allowing him to go down that path.
I,for one,am in total agreement.
Bush is dilusionsal.
The BEST we can hope from these people is for a government which supports us.
Before you can believe in Democracy you need to hold certain basic premises as sacred - freedom of thought, dignity of the individual, freedom of religion, etc.
ALL of the foregoing are totally incompatible with Islam.
His diluded dreams, springing from an apparent total ignorance of human history (must have been one of the two college courses he flunked)has put him, and us, in the current dilemma we are in in Iraq - not able to pull out and not wanting to stay. His ignorance on the border issue and pandering to Mexico is but another symptom of his serious reality gap.
George Bush has done incalculable damage to the Republican Party, to the conservative movement and to America.
Not all historians (students of history) have sold out. Some who refuse to write revisionist history will always be around and although their numbers might be few, truth shall prevail.
