Re:<Even now, the Bush administration is wishing it had the help of the UN and other allies which Bush alienated in his rush to war. Bush gets a failing grade in diplomacy.>

Sara, I do appreciate your ardour, but must object to your right to access his final diplomacy grade. Your bias argues against a fair deliberation and in favor of recusing yourself as judge, juror and hangman (or woman).

Bush operates within the confines of the world he has inherited. As he plays out the nasty hand that's dealt him he too must survive the dirty politics of those who offer platitudes rather than solutions. It is easy to criticize. Impossible to lead those who will not follow.
