Quite hard to be positive when there's nothing to be positive about thus far under Bush's reign as president.
First of all to corect your ignorance of democracy. US President do not "reign" and secondly there has been quite a LOT to be happy about his first term. Job growth and economy are on the upswing, a 2 wars have been fought and won and a good start on a Global War on terror has been made....all good news for americans....oh and my personal net worth has really started to take off since the Bush tax cuts.
What I see is Iraq and all of the middle east ending up the same way as things did in Vietnam. The US will pull out after all the work and construction is completed, another ruler will take his place and set people at each other's throats again.
You need to get some more historical education about Vietnam before you call Iraq anything like that. The ideological and political situation is far far different.
I think that Bush, within his boundless wisdom, will pull off a move to spark WWIII by attacking Korea because, again, of the threat of weapons of mass destruction we've still yet to find in the middle east. And this way, the US government will learn its lesson, and that is sometimes we need to stay the hell out of everyone else's business.
Korea wouldn't be WWIII it would be like boom...North who? because NK may have weapons but they can't deploy them effectively and would be totally anhiliated before they ever got the chance....but I digress. Bush isn't running the country in a vacuum, he has two other branches of government running things with him, and he has well educated staff and advisors...and recently leaked information shows that Bush' IQ may be higher than Kerrys [img]smile.gif[/img]
The idea the guy is stupid is a fallacy and a fantasy of the left with no substance to back it up but the ethnic bias against his accent.
