The good, the bad, the ugly, and the ugliest

The Good

President Bush destroyed the burgeoning "caliphate" (try not to laugh) in Afghanistan, removed a genocidal madman who amassed more than 70 mass graves in 30 years (that's more than two per year for you Shaved Apes), and has taken a tough stance with dictatorial regimes like North Korea, Syria, and Iran. Good for Bush.

The Bad

Bush's status as dissident faded when a U.S. airbase in Uzbekistan was more important than holding the dictator accountable for massacres against civilians

The Ugly

Bush should be increasing stem cell funding instead of letting his stone-age religious attitudes prevail. We knew what we were getting when we gave him a second term, so I'll couch my dislike. I can't help but feel that this situation is not unlike the Christians locking up Galileo for pointing out a simple truth. Basic, important science stepped on the precious morals of Christian zealots back then, and it's happening again now.

The Ugliest
