Farewell Speech by Bush

I didn't think Bush was so bad. I didn't agree with everything he did, but some people were vehemently against him to the point of serious hatred, and I don't understand that.

I thought his farewell speech was good, and the bad things, following 9/11, could have possibly happened to any other President. Presidents don't act alone, but on the advice of others and large groups of advisors, and there was a lot of wrong information fed that way. In some ways, I agree with Hitchens, that it was to prevent genocide, the war, but then I think about Darfur and other places that need help too.

So the standard shouldn't be double.
