His stated goals of democratizing the region have caused it to destabilize, which will unfortunately lead to crackdowns on nascent democratic movements in the ME. In other words, he's achieved the opposite of his stated purpose, as well as committing the US to two losing wars. (the illusion of "winning" Iraq is a myth since we are just treading water while the Iraqis dither) What can he really hope to accomplish?

Is Bush really going to spend his last year begging and pleading with the leaders of other countries to do him a favor and help him achieve some sort of positive legacy? Or... I really hope to God that he doesn't go sticking his nose in areas that he doesn't understand. If he does, then he really does want to go out in style... And here I was thinking it was safe to finally visit other countries again. Hoping that the rest of the world would be kind to us Americans now that we have a chance to set things right again with the upcoming elections in Nov. But if Bush goes on a grand tour mucking things up.... Sorry, Davebo: The Big W goes where he wants to go and does what he wants to do.
