Bush in retreat

Article Abstract:

The key to US president George Bush's victory in the 2004 elections lies in the simple historical fact that no American president has ever lost an election in the midst of a war. President Bush's second term is expected to be less aggressive, less unilateral, less militant and less arrogant in its foreign policy because the administration will be hemmed in, with America being constrained by the world, a situation largely created by his foreign policies.

What Bush got right

Article Abstract:

President George W. Bush is right on some big questions on the Iraq-Islamic wars and deserves credit for what is happening in the Middle East region. Bush is of the view that the region was breeding terror because it had developed deep dysfunctions caused by decades of repression and an almost total lack of political, economic and social modernization.
