And this will be Bush's and the neocons legacy

[question everything]

Building a nuclear arsenal in the Pacific rim. As reported earlier on CNN, it should not be too hard for Japan, and South Korea, and Taiwan, to get their own nuclear weapons.

Diminishing the image of the USA as a mighty nation that carries a big stick.

Iran and North Korea are laughing at our face, and why shouldn't they? As does Venezuela.

Sending our forces to Afghanistan and to Iraq have resulted in complete failure. If you did not catch PBS The Lost Year in Iraq, try to see it in future airing. Check with your local PBS http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/yeariniraq/

It was hard to believe that such a mighty nation like ours went to a major war with a minimal preparation, with no exit strategy, of course, with different members of the cabinet running their own agenda.

A smart superpower hides its true might and let the world think that it can invade any country and destroy it. But in our case, we've proved that we cannot control a third world country.

The Republicans' "strength" used to be in defense, in security. I've known people who thought that the only role of a government is to defend the nation and this is why they voted Republican. But now this administration showed that it cannot conduct a simple war against a mob and unorganized military men.
