Nothing. It's like when you divorce someone who's betrayed you & hurt you deeply. You can never go back.

He needs to show some humility and character and admit that Iraq is not going as planned, and then accept and actually consider the advice of his Joint Chiefs and the generals on the ground. He should resist his obvious penchant for having "yes" people surround him and encourage his Cabinet to brainstorm on the war, rather than staying his course by keeping their noses a nice dull brown. He can surely find a way to do this without personally looking weak or losing face, which seems to be of very large concern to him. I don't know if it's possible for him to do anything to gain trust and respect, I don't think he was accorded that by the world to begin with, and he doesn't make it easy to think well of him. I really resent what he has done to our reputation around the world, we were not in good favor before this war. But now the anger that people around the world feel toward us is rising every day. He needs to start listening to the advice of people who truly understand war. We're in big trouble if he doesn't, because it is obvious that he isn't capable of cleaning up this mess with his ideas alone.

I think it's so late for that...He would have to turn back in time and renounce at attacking Iraq...and since this is impossible,there is absolutely nothing Bush can do to gain back the trust and respect of the world...

Retire...Open up for U2'sWorld Tour. Raise a bunch of money for starving African Children. Throw out the first pitch for the Detroit Tigers Home Opener. Endorse Constitutional Amendment making the Libertarian Party the Sole Party in Both Houses of Congress. And write on a black board 100 times "I'm sorry for not paying better attention in school."

To check himself into the Betty Ford clinic and get cleaned up.
To pull our troops out of Iraq.
To admit that he doesn't know beans about politics and has just been led by "advisers".
To join a Zen monastery and pray for peace.

He will never have the trust of the American people (nor Australians) again he has lost it for ever but it would help if he admitted the job has been to big for him and resigned.

I think he should apologize to all the people he have harmed although that is not going to change anything. He has to pay some compensations to the countries he invaded in order to fix them.

What it would take, he can't do. Fix Iraq, make friends with our enemies, fix our sagging dollar, provide better health care in the US, clean our government from all of the pee pee touching, graft taking politicians.... boy am I tired.

The top two things he could do to regain respect would be to solve the trouble in Iraq and Afghanistan AND to admit his mistakes for once in his miserable life.
Hah, I have two things to say to you to disprove your claims: The pre-9/11 intelligence reports given to Bush when we was sworn in, AND condoning torture.

can you name one, just one world leader that was involved in war that was popular during the tough time of the war? Lincoln, Truman, Churchill and on and on. Tough decisions are always looked down on from the masses. What you ask for is for him to sway in the wind with public opinion which makes a worse person than someone who may make mistakes but atleast is commited to their goals.
