George W. Bush, may be remembered for being the symbol of everything wrong in the United States. He did not invent radical right wing ideologies; but he became their most obvious proponent. He frightened those who recognized what he represented. He forced all of us to look at issues we preferred to ignore.
We humans must recognize our transgressions before we can do something about them. Only by looking in the mirror, can we see the dirt on our face.
Informed participation is vital for a healthy democracy.
US citizens finally did recognize the dangerous ideologies and rejected them. But, their tardiness allowed the worst economic disaster in a century to cause harm and suffering around the world.
It was not the legacy President Bush wanted; but he forced us to pay attention and change course.
