Bush, The Memory

Argues that George W. Bush might be remembered well as a president, as he made tough calls that had to be made; similar to the situtation Truman was in; and justifies this statement by saying that at Trumans lowest point, he had a 22% approval rating, far below anything George W. Bush has been made to suffer.

I understand that this article underlines might, but the notion is just ridicoulus, Truman might have had a low approval rating in the states, but those in the know supported him, and unlike Bush he wasn't universally hated.
Truman initiated the  Marshall Plan, allowing a rapid regrowth of Western Europe, if that doesn't make a good president, I wouldn't know what does. He greatly helped rebuild Western Germany along with Britain, France and all the other devastated countries.

George W. Bush has done nought in that aspect, he has taken some of the most inhospitable countries in the world (Iraq and Afghanistan), and at least with Iraq turned it into a far worse place. There are more deaths, more suicidebombs, more persecution, more of all the bad stuff, it's like he went to a country that was at rockbottom and drilled even deeper... Well done, indeed. I do support the war in Afghanistan, I believe it's a necessary job, and that long term stability there is necessary, there is a cost, but it's worth a lot.
If we pride ourselves on being the free world, then we cannot turn a blind eye to the oppressed.

I am indeed critical of George W Bush, and this isn't just some hindsight fix, I supported both Al Gore and John Kerry; I believe that George W Bush will be looked back upon with disgrace (except maybe by some Americans), and that we need to move on from here, and hope that Sarah Palin never gets elected.
