Having one act in common with prior Presidents, in a very different context, does not make W comparable, or his situation comparable to them.

Bush started a war. Lincoln and FDR had a war thrust upon them. For Bush;s situation to have been comparable he would have had to invade Saudi Arabia, which would have been even stupider, I guess. If he had even bothered to manage the war in Afghanistan competently, with some resultant measurable impact on bin Laden's Al Qeda, it might have been, at least, conscionable after the 9-11 catastrophe.
