3. Predicting The Bush Legacy ... from October 2001
For Bush, the biggest challenges in office may be more basic: How will he deal with important issues beyond the borders of Texas, such as federal budget policy, Social Security, arms control and when to use force?

"What he doesn't know could fill several books, and he doesn't want to read them," says Buchanan. "...And the DANGER, it seems to me, of someone who is underprepared is not that he can't get good advisers and trust them -- he's shown an ability to do that -- it's that he might find himself at some moment when he's faced with bad advice, as every president is no matter how good the staff is, and he might find himself unable to recognize it for what it is, as bad advice."

4. President Bush's Legacy-
The Man Who Started The Second 30 Years War

EDITOR’S NOTE: The most appropriate analogy to the prolonged War on Terror described by the Bush Administration may be the religious wars that erupted in the West during the 6th and the 16th centuries. What paved the way for those wars was political rot, and where political conviction stagnated, religious belief filled the vacuum. Franz Schurmann, professor emeritus of history and sociology, is author of numerous books on global politics.

Long before 9/11, America’s secular experiment with democracy was gripped by its own rot, exemplified when the country could not identify a winner of the 2000 presidential elections for an entire month, kindling a serious recession. When 9/11 occurred, the Bush spin doctors were quick to remind the world that everybody prays in the White House.

Far from a secular America confronting a radical religion, however, a resurgent Protestant Christian right has aligned itself with Zionist support for Israel to move the American political agenda. For the first time a US president has now identified the enemy as a religious force. And President Bush may well go down in the history books as the man who started the second 30 Years War.
