I am sorry to say to say this but when it comes to Muslims Bush the Younger is clueless.

Say JORGE? How ‘bout the North Korean WINTER after you sold out those poor bastards all for the sake of your ‘Six Party Talks’?!?

You actually took North Korea OFF the list of terrorist supporting nations, Jorge?

You’re a dumb azz.

W is clueless concerning Good vs. Evil

Jesus may be his favorite philosopher,
but not his LORD.

If the only muslims I personally knew were the Saudi royal family I might have the same opinion.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I always resented the left’s meme about W being dumb. I’m afraid to say in retrospect they may have had a point.

The only real Arab Spring happened with Persians in Iran when they wanted to kick the Arabs out and establish a secular free society. Obama stood by and did nothing while they were slaughtered in the streets, squandering the apex of the Bush Doctrine in the Middle East.

The rest of the so-called Arab Spring, from Yemen to Egypt to Libya, and more has nothing to do with liberty or Republican principles, it is really an Islamic Caliphate where Obama is supporting abject Islamic radicals and terrorists from the Muslim Brotherhood in Egyot to the Al Quida backed rebels in Libya.

WHITE HOUSE INFILTRATOS HELP TURN THE ARAB SPRINGSINTO AN ISLAMIC CALIPHATE

What Fantasy is this???!!!!! Hello, has anybody really LOOKed at ME?

There might be a glimer of Arab Spring right after the Anbar Awakening, but now? NOW????? Where is the mooooslem democracy?

I think GWB clearly understood the muslim threat after 9/11. But the years, personal attacks, & Political Correctness have taken a toll on his sensibilities.

This article was extremely optimistic. His assumption that things will be better with the Arab Spring are as yet to reveal themselves. There is no guarantee that Egypt, for instance, will embrace freedom & democracy, rather that a radical muslim dictatorship. I'd say the latter is far more likely than the former.

GWB & the Arab Spring cheerleaders need to understand that democracy & the rule of law only flourish in well educated, moral societies. These traits are sorely lacking in muslim societies. As with the failed efforts to democratize Iraq & Afghanistan, we are just wasting money trying to civilize these people. They are perfectly happy to live as savages & resent our meddling.

I am sick of subsidizing one brute over another in crap-holes around the world. I would tell these people that I don't care what they do within their own country - they'll get no money from me, but if their evil affects me in any material way or spills over their borders, then I will crush them like a bug.

George has been delusional for awhile now.....

He’s writing in code. He’s dog-whistling to the pro-American right.

It appears to be a bit more of an “Islamist Spring” than anything else.

[gingerbread]

I am willing to bet, money, marbles or chalk, that in the end of this “ARAB SPRING”, these people will wind up with another a more monstrous leader than the the ones they overthrew. It’s the nature of this beast. Every 40 or 50 years or so, these people will throw out a monster they had, and replace them with a new monster that they elected. These people have no concept of a “DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC” that we have. For the last thousand years, this is all they know, and why would they want to replace it with something they don’t understand and never will.
