Hi, still too busy and in the north, on efforts of Mr. Bush definitely, he has broken the back of international Terror Inc, I am witnessing the sea change of attitude on the ground.. Churchill had a big advantage he was fighting a declared enemy, here the fight is with an unseen enemy, an enemy who can be best of friends on face but have a different agenda on the back. Fullujah is quiet so is Najaf and the Iraqi GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN INSTALLED, SIMILARLY IN Afghanistan a lot is happening, girls are in schools and Peshawar has definitely changed for better, it is a different city although it is under Mullahs. I am very positive that notwithstanding delusional minds hope and optimism has always conquered constipated minds, Bush will be seen as a President once he complete his second terms after routing Kerry ggg as a President who expedited Islamic second renaissance and Islam connectivity to the world.

Bush will rank high, Rice says .... Security chief believes he will be compared with Roosevelt and Churchill

Coming from Rice, we can of course assume that it is an objective opinion! LOL!!

Here is a view of Bush by historians who were polled:

Of 415 historians who expressed a view of President Bush’s administration to this point as a success or failure, 338 classified it as a failure and 77 as a success. (Moreover, it seems likely that at least eight of those who said it is a success were being sarcastic, since seven said Bush’s presidency is only the best since Clinton’s and one named Millard Fillmore.) Twelve percent of all the historians who responded rate the current presidency the worst in all of American history, not too far behind the 19 percent who see it at this point as an overall success.

I give the opinions of these historians more credence than Rice's opinion - but not a whole lot more. Rice has a vested interest in praising Bush. These historians cannot make an objective evaluation of how history will view Bush or any other president, while he is still in office.
