I know several people from Iran (or as they call it, Persia) and they are wonderful people. I believe a lot of the younger generation there is progressive and does not support their governments' stance on anti-American, pro-nuclear policies.
However, it is the fanatical Radical Islamists, like Mahmoud Ahmaddinejad who seem to be in charge and driving the nuclear program.
President Ahmaddinejad has stated over and over that he intends to analiate Israel, thus setting the stage for a possible armageddon.
George W. Bush will leave a legacy of at least three monumental accomplishments.
1. Under his watch, no other attacks have happened in the 7 years following one (if not the most) horrific attacks ever on our soil.
2.He was instrumental in ending the murderous regime of one of the most evil dictators in modern history, and thereby accomplishing a great humanitarian mission. One needs only to talk to my Kurdish friends who fled Iraq because Saddam Hussein was committing genocide against their people, about whether or not we should have eliminated him.
3.The Iraqi war will go down in history as the pivotal point in which Democracy in that tumultuous region will have gained a strong hold. Over 20,000 al qaida and other Islamist terrorists who were fighting us in Iraq and Afghanistan have been eliminated in the last few years. It may sound trite, but we are fighting them over there instead of our major cities in the U.S.
Some of our greatest Presidents were not popular during their administrations. (Abraham Lincoln, for example)
I'll close with a quote from Ann Coulter's latest essay,
BUSH'S AMERICA: 100 PERCENT
AL-QAIDA FREE SINCE 2001
"The Iraqis have a democracy -- a miracle on the order of flush toilets in that godforsaken region of the world. Despite its newness, Iraq's democracy appears to be no more dysfunctional than one that would condemn a man who has kept the nation safe for seven years while deifying a man who has accomplished absolutely nothing in his entire life except to give speeches about "change."
But liberals have only blind hatred for Bush -- and for those brute American interrogators who do not supply extra helpings of béarnaise sauce to the little darlings at Guantanamo with sufficient alacrity.
The sheer repetition of lies about Bush is wearing people down. There is not a liberal in this country worthy of kissing Bush's rear end, but the weakest members of the herd run from Bush. Compared to the lickspittles denying and attacking him, Bush is a moral giant -- if that's not damning with faint praise. John McCain should be so lucky as to be running for Bush's third term. Then he might have a chance."
