No matter what transpires between now and 50 years from now, nothing will be able exonerate the criminal behaviour of George W Bush. There is literally over one thousand documented activities that will never be reckoned as good for our country. From creating deep political divisions, to lying and bungling the war in Iraq, gutting our national debt, ignoring the Katrina disaster, lying to the public again and again in the name of "National Security", his abysmal approval ratings (the worst in history), attempting to privatise Social security, deliberately alienating our allies, flaming hatred toward our country across the Middle East, Terri Schiavo, Abu Ghraib, Halliburton, outing our CIA agents protecting our national interests ("the highest form of treason" according to George H Bush), $3+ gas prices, unprecedented government corruption and cronyism, removing our civil rights, destroying our military, unchecked abuse of executive powers, and finally, tarnishing the Republican Party's reputation for years to come.
