I was just thinking about this today, so I figured I'd start a thread on this subject.
What do you think the second President Bush's ultimate legacy will be, at home and around the world? Will history be kinder to him than many observers have been (particularly - but certainly not exclusively - non-American ones)? Or will future generations have as low (if not lower) of a collective view of his policies as many do now?
Leaving aside for a moment the many harsh criticisms that I (and many others, obviously) certainly have about Bush's foreign policy, I think one quite positive legacy of his is the work his administration did in raising more awareness and focusing more foreign policy attention in general on the plight of sub-Saharan Africa. I also think, without saying anything else about how horrible the situation in Iraq and the Middle East is (and has been for a decade or so now), it's undeniable that the world is better off without Saddam Hussein and his sons.
