Well, of course, I'd try to save him. He's a human being. Besides, he's just a figurehead, in my opinion. I disapprove of his policies enormously, but I highly doubt that he is the primary motive force behind them. When he's gone, they'll just find another one. The USA has been practicing grand imperialism ("Manifest Destiny") ever since 1812 or even earlier than that. I don't think George Bush is crucial to maintaining that aspect of national character.
