Tapsearch Com EditorThe Bush Quagmire - What Lies Ahead
December 10th 2006 13:48
It has been an eternity since I wrote here. Being entangled with personal and corporate life, I was thinking who on earth would have a life so miserable as me. And suddenly a thought flashed my mind. Yes, there is one man who suits this category, whose life is worse than me, whose very actions have killed thousands and displaced millions. He is none other than the President of the United States, George Bush.
Hundreds of books and articles have been written about him, some supporting him and most criticizing him. When Osama Bin Laden attacked U.S, there was overwhelming support for Bush. He could have ruined the whole middle-east if he had wanted to. The whole world watched afghanistan destroyed and applauded it. Overall sympathy for U.S among other countries was at an all time high.
But now, the popularity of U.S is at an all time low. Latin America, bitten by the past, has more or less turned towards socialism. There are very few countries in this world who would now say that they like U.S or especially its foreign policy. Iraq has become a disaster, another vietnam with no solution at sight. China is poised to be the next economic super power which gives other countries more options for trade and commerce, which means less influence for America..So where it went wrong for Bush and his advisers? What is the answer to this situation?
When the november elections came out against Bush, no one was surprised. It has been long coming. His foreign policy has failed, his economic policies has failed, his domestic health policies has failed and even supporters within his own party became disillusioned with him. American soldiers were dying not for America, but for Bush's personal revenge. America was in a terrible mess. Appalling growth rates, stagnant incomes, real estate bust and climbing inflation was taking its toll.
America has to be cleaned and changed. Easier said than done. Bush has lot to think about if his party has any chance of winning the all important Presidency elections in 2008. He has his work cut out for him. He has to get America out of the mess he has created in Iraq, improve the country's economy and popularity, spread democracy through peaceful means and at the same time counter China, North Korea, Iran and especially, the nuclear deal with India. Because, the last thing he wants is the world's larget democracy giving him a snub.
