As George W. Bush’s presidency draws near an end, the country he saved in the wake of Sept. 11 is turning against him. According to a recent CNN opinion poll, 63 percent of Americans are in favor of withdrawing troops from Iraq, and 42 percent of Republicans agree.
On June 29, the Associated Press wrote, “Bush had begun his second term talking boldly of ending tyranny in the world, but the bloodshed in Iraq has narrowed his focus and turned much of the country against him.”
Falsely accused of disregarding the Constitution, arbitrarily sending American soldiers to their death and unlawfully invading another country for personal profit and exploitation, the President has faced devastating resistance from his own people, to say little of the rest of the world.
