The surge will never right the wrongs

In response to the column written by David Brooks, “The Bush Paradox,” which appeared in the New York Times on 6/24/08, allow me to challenge this type of understanding of a president many compare with some of the worst criminals in history. Even now those guys, I feel are admired by many that have blinders on.

The dead has no voice in judging George Bush; but the some two million Iraqis that fled their homeland that are now living in run-down neighborhoods in surrounding countries described in “Books Not Bombs” Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times, can see the surge for what it is; a desperate ploy to try to make a wrong look right.

The most transparent understanding of how the Bush administration is perceived is in the dilemma that the most powerful leader of the free world has to sneak in Iraq when a less powerful leader from Iran makes an announcement to visit and is greeted as a hero.

So you see those 28% in which David Brooks is a part of, that approves of George Bush’s three billion dollars a week war in Iraq might be compared to those that approved of such leaders as Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler when they thought they had moments of getting it right.
