Bush was not bad only for Iraqis and international community he was bad for America too, his foreign policy was catastrofic for USA, NONE ELSE COULD DAMAGE THE USA SO HARD AS BUSH DID. They took their lesson and they voted Obama to improve their relasion with the rest of the world.
Ignore Howard and other right extremists THEY DID NOT CARE FOR PEOPLE, FOR AMERICAN OR AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE, Bush was good only for the enemies of USA, FOR THE EXTREMISTS as Bin Laden etc.
An extremist creates extremists.

Daviy "that there is probably nothing that can be done about Bush, but we might be able to make it clear that the world is not going to accept another Bush."

Hate to pour rain on your parade but "the world" don't get to choose the American Presidents and how well Obama does will determine how the good citizens of USA will decide, when they come to it in another 4 years time and 8 years time the flavour of their choice.

AND when they do, the World will accept the decision of those US citizens and bearing in mind the high proportion of "swinging" voters history shows us how frequently Democrat presidencies give way to Republican presidencies.

regarding your misquote 'Bad things happen when good men do nothing.'

Well maybe nothing bad has really happened, except in the minds of the over-sensitive.

I would recall the clamour to impeach Bush never had the energy behind the efforts to impeach Clinton.

Daivy says,

"Big fish are not called to account in the
large political ocean. They usually escape
retribution, dying, as did Stalin and Hitler,
the evil architects themselves - without having
been brought to justice."

That's a generalisation and an inaccurate one Daivy. It's so easy to make a point by dropping a few names and forgetting the ones that contradict your point isn't it. You would have heard of Sadam Hussein, Napoleon,Benito Mussoloni? Now whether in the history of big bad bastards there are more on the got caught side than the other, I don't know. But neither do you.

I don't know what comment you are refering too but it wasn't mine.

Foxy was the culprit.

Daivy, my apologies.

Ditch,

I'm flattered that you read my post.

And, you're right to point out my
error. I should have
clarified the fact that:

"None but the vanquished ..."
shall be held to account.

Thanks for that.
Much appreciated.
