In all seriousness, I see what you are saying. I was thinking something similar while reading last night. Sort of like how Clinton is viewed as a great President for being able to ride the Internet boom wave so well.
But trying to be completely objective, I don't think Bush will ever be regarded as a great President. if anything, he will be noted for squandering the greatest opportunity for keeping the U.S. on top for the next century.
September 12 forward, Bush blew it. With the entire world, Iran included, behind us, he could have sent out an army of State Department diplomats and built an amazing coalition united in strength around the world. Instead he went against the entire world, blew the Treasury, and has diplomatically and economically crippled our country.
that's what he will be remembered for. and getting Moldavia in the Coalition of the Willing.
