Bush may think history will be kind to him but it won't. It won't be kind to the Supreme Court either. The Bush so-called "Presidency" will stand out as an aberration just like the genocide of the American Indians and the McCathy Era and slavery. Sooner or later this country is going to face it's dark side. When that happens maybe we'll start growing up as a country and learn some humility.
