George W Bush's Legacy - Truman for Our Times

I know it frustrates my liberal friends and some conservatives but IMHO GWB will be remembered fondly 50 years from now as a man with great vision and courage who changed the world for the better.

He is Truman for our times.

I found this article and believe this writer to be right:

That George W Bush's foreign policy has been a total failure is now taken for granted by so many people that one usually hears it stated as a simple truth that need not be argued at all.

It has happened before. When President Harry S Truman said in March 1952 that he would not seek re-election, most Americans could agree on one thing: that his foreign policy had been a catastrophic failure. In Korea his indecision had invited aggression, and then his incompetence had cost the lives of some 54,000 Americans and millions of Korean civilians in just two years of fighting—on both counts more than ten times the number of casualties in Iraq. Right-wingers reviled Truman for having lost China to communism and for his dismissal of the great General Douglas MacArthur, who had wanted to win it back, with nukes if necessary. Liberals despised Truman because he was the failed shopkeeper who had usurped the patrician Franklin Roosevelt's White House—liberals always were the snobs of US politics.

But then, what does he know, he's just a historian. Know nothing liberal pundits are so much smarter. How's that working out?
