Why History will be Kind to President Bush
I am a big fan of Bill Kristol--I think he is one of the more intelligent commentators on the scene today. Today he makes a great case in the Washington Post for why George W. Bush will go down in history as a good, if not great President. When you are immersed in so much static and background noise, it is difficult to see the big picture. This President has not been perfect--no person is. And there is no question that the President's inability to communicate a coherent message about this War and this enemy that can be heard and understood by the entire electorate has made things a lot tougher on him than they necessarily ought to have been. Still, I think Kristol makes some very salient points here.
