"Great piece, Shameh.

I served two tours in Iraq, and I can tell you that what a huge improvement the Bush surge has made in that country. If Democrats (or Obama) in Congress had their way, it would be a mess.

I agree, Bush is very under-rated. History will judge him in very positive light.

Btw, I voted for Gore in 2000, but voted to re-elect Bush in 2004. I wish I could vote for him again in 2008. He is a far better man than both McCain and especially Obama.
