Bush is one of America's greatest presidents ever.

While the world was celebrating the end of history and the final triumph of liberal democracy, Bush was one of the few leaders to recognise that there was a grave threat brewing. That of Islamofascism. Bravely resisting public opinion at home and abroad, Bush managed to devote a great deal of the resources of the world's greatest democracy to counter the threat. Simultanously, he aggresively spread trade throughout the world, bringing and entangling East Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Southern Africa into a global capitalist camp.
This put the ball into the Islamofascist camp. Pressured by the sight of the entire world booming while they stayed behind. Pressured by a front that was brought home. Pressured by the sight of Iraq slowly turning into a stable country. Pressured by an ideological front that centered around America's staunch counterstrategy to Islamofascism. Slowly, they crumbled under the weight, like Reagan managed to crush Communism by outspending it.

Bush also offered a more alluring counterstrategy. America under Bush was more open than at any time before. Trade flourished more than ever before, thanks to Bush' strict adherence to open trade agreements, despite fierce opposition at home and abroad. Bush allowed in more immigrants than any president before, despite fierce opposition. The openness of Bush' America culminated in the election of a Black president named Barack - a man of inconsequential further historical relevance - as would be the norm after him in America, and which, as always, would slowly spread troughout the free world. A free world, that had been enlarged enormously thanks the the aggressive efforts of Bush.

Roosevelt, Reagan, Bush, the trio of presidents that, at a crucial crossroads of history, recognised the danger and in the face of nearly insurmountable opposition and outright mockery, oversaw a great American triumph over the forces of evil. This, each managed by opening up America. By boldly engaging in the challenge the world set before America and overcoming it. By tapping America's Godlike potential for change, for ever more openness, for overcoming any odds.

Bush was a fantastic president.
