Forget the fact that Bush squandered all post 9/11 goodwill, and united the world against us. Forget the fact that Bush took us into an unnecessary war based on false pretenses, and in doing so destabilized the entire middle east. Forget the fact that 1000 Americans have already lost their lives as well as tens of thosands of Iraqis. This is benevolent hegemony. Forget the fact that this mess has/will cost hundreds of billions. And forget about Bush's reckless spending because that's another issue. Right?
