Regretful
Every president gets concerned about his legacy as his final term comes to a close.
In the beginning, Pres. Bush was full of piss and vinegar. You're either with us or against us. John Wayne riding tall against America's enemies.
But now, the president is expressing regret. Regret that his legacy will be that of a president who relished war.
In an interview with the Times of London, Bush says he's hopeful he can pave the way for a diplomatic solution to the vexing concerns over Iran's possible plans to develop nuclear weapons.
This from a president whose foreign policy has earned his nation distrust from the rest of the world.
It seems the president is candidly reflective as his term enters its golden months. It's a refreshing albeit late change in attitude that hopefully serves as a model for the next person who occupies the Oval Office.

Too little too late could well be the epitaph that Bush earns.
What really ticks me off about Bush is that he is so damn naive. Whilst I think a degree of naivety can be an endeering quality in people it is not necessarily a quality I would want to see in the person who was determining the fate of millions of people. Intellect isn't eveything, but lack of it in someone in such high office is a severe disadvantage!
If Bush was serious about amends he could start in a most obvious way---start pulling US troops from Iraq and start spending SOME of the $12 billion dollars a month we have spent on this war to repairing some of the infrastructure destroyed.
It is too bad that those killed won't know about Bush's change of heart.

It would be funny if it isn't so tragic
