Of course George Herbert Walker Bush will help his country. He puts his country above partisanship, because he loves his country more than himself.

Which is in notable contrast to Bill Clinton, who has spent the last seven years tearing down his country, because in doing so he can damage his successor. Bill Clinton always puts himself before even his party, and certainly way before his country, because Bill Clinton loves himself more than anything.

He [HW] puts his country above partisanship, because he loves his country more than himself.

Is that why he the driving force behind the NAFTA Treaty? The one that has sent - and continues to send - US jobs to Mexico?

Yup, what a patriot.

While I seriously disagree with many of the domestic policies of both Bushes, and regret the fact that neither sought complete victory in war, it is a fact that they have been too nice to their opponents. Whether it is out of a sense of noblesse oblige or naivete, both father and son have trusted their domestic political opponents to be honorable, and they have not been. Conservative talk radio hosts have been tough on the liberals, but the Bushes have not, even inviting Hollywood leftists and other scoundrels to official functions.

If the GOP holds onto the White House in 2008, I hope the successor will apply the same standards to the enemy within that George W. Bush has to Middle Eastern terror groups.
