George W. Bush: Coherent Thinking OR Blathering Idiot!
“Sometimes in life, we are called to do great things”. This was the first line from the inaugural speech of the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush.
Popular liberal rhetoric is all the rage now! All of a sudden, every commentator’s now an expert on ‘Bush Bashing’! We are all experts at kvetching about the United States, yet still, we are the same ones who line the paths and lanes of Walter Carrington for ‘escape permits’ for us and our families!
We all agree that the US maintains a collaborative neutrality in the Middle East and with issues that affect the nation state of Israel. We should also agree that Arabs seem to get a sense of accomplishment from killing Jews! For Dubya, who’s 61, there are fewer years in front than behind. It is important that everyone understands that this is not a polemic, but simply an insight into G. Dubya.
President George W. Bush’s first term has been among the most consequential and successful in modern times. Under his leadership, the United States is waging and 'winning' the war against global terrorism. The United States and its coalition partners liberated more than 50 million people from two regimes of extraordinary brutality that had provided safe havens to terrorists. The United States is also promoting democracy & freedom, in regions of the world that have never known it.
I would immediately agree that Dubya seems aloof most times, but I know for sure that he is genuinely a great guy with genuine convictions. Most people who have had the good fortune of interfacing with him personally allude to the fact that he is a genuine person and a fantastic person all round. He remembers people’s names, calls them by nicknames and has no airs at all. And YES! A damn good Commander-in-Chief!!
Dubya and the Republican Party have not made the world unsafe! They met the world unsafe! Thanks in most part to the dithering ineptitude of the previous leadership! There is no way anyone can say the world is no longer safe! The world has never been safe!! Go back through history from the days of the Roman conquests, through the dark ages, the triumphant entry of Modern Christianity and the subsequent arrival of Islam. People died before, during and after these times, and they will continue to die!!
Bernard Lewis suggests that these religions have at one time or another invoked religion in the practice of murder, both retail and wholesale!
The ‘worst president’ in the history of America initiated a Presidential Emergency Plan for HIV/AIDS that in 5 years is now providing free medicines for 1.3 million people in Africa.
He has ensured that his country contributes 30% of the money for the global fund to fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and his country continues to contribute half of all food aid in the world.
On his most recent trip to Africa, he promised Africa $350 million dollars for a fund for neglected tropical diseases. He’s also giving 5.2 million mosquito nets to kids in Tanzania.
He’s initiated the millennium Challenge account that will put money down for contracts worth $1.2 Billion dollars in Ghana and Tanzania. He’s also reauthorized the AGOA, a Clinton administration initiative.
His first cabinet, more than any president in recent history, genuinely reflected much of the diversity of the United States, even appointing two African American Secretaries of State.
Under George W Bush, America has quadrupled aid to Africa. Liberal Democrats bite me!
I am not kow-towing the Americans and their foreign policies, but only looking at things from another POV!
I know the world is currently experiencing a maelstrom and I understand. But know this clearly, that peace is a novel nuance, propagated by clandestine philosophers! And in my opinion, peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice…that’s real peace! The United States is a defender and promoter of freedom, and the advance of freedom, is what brings peace!
Harold Laski, in his book, A Grammar of Politics, says that no man can underestimate the mechanism of justice…and when we know how a nation state dispenses justice, we know with some exactness the moral character to which it can pretend.
I will leave you guys with one of my favourite comments from Dubya. ‘When we see the hungry, we feed them! Not to spread our influence, but because they are hungry!’
