On Bush attempt to mend the bridge with old Europe...

Now that most of the neocons (save Cheney, the last man standing) are gone, Bush is finally doing his first attempt to mend the bridges with old Europe and NATO. For a world leader to wake up, 6 years too late, who has burnt through all credibility of US in the eyes of the world, and with the remaining 2 years as a lame duck, does Bush really believe he can change the history book as the administration with the worst foreign policy? I very much doubt it.

While Jimmy Carter might be blunt in his assessment of the Bush administration, it is largely true. It would certainly sound harsh, for a past president to criticize a current president, but Carter is speaking out on what has been on most everyone's mind, in crisp terms.

The system in this country protects incompetency of a government. If we have had a parliamentary system, he would have been voted out with a no-confidence vote long time ago, going the same way Blair goes. Basically, American people have to sit it out for the next 2 years. At least Bush has no hope of an re-election, thank God.

I just wish that Bush Jr. would have heed some advice from his father who is a much wiser man.
