In Which George W. Bush Enters History

In Which George W. Bush Enters History:

"For years now, persons close to Bush have been advertising him as resembling Harry Truman (1884-1972), thirty-third president of the United States, meaning that however unpopular he might be upon leaving office, they expect Bush to be viewed in historical perspective as having been a pretty good leader. A more apt comparison is to Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) twenty-eighth president, about whom ambivalence remains great even after ninety years. Bush may be remembered with the same tincture of admiration and regret."

Ok, I learned a lot about Wilson, well probably relearned stuff I had forgotten since school. And if Bush is convicted of war crimes like I hope (but doubt) that will no doubt change his standing.
