What will the next generation think of George Bush, Tony Blair and John Howard?

Question

All three men put forward their moral character as one of the reasons they were the best to govern each country.

These men are all christians - middle aged white guy conservatives. Two of these men claim to talk to the sky god personally to get advice. They ignore all the human rights abuses in the world and yet claim to have the right to start illegal occupations. These guys are at the best ignorant old men at the worst crazy fundamentalists without a clue..........

Answer 1

we are better educated than most these days, and most of us dont know much about kennedy, nixon, thatcher, and whoever else was in the news back then. so id have to say the next generation will probably think nothing of some old guys they have never heard of.

Answer 2

While your statement about their moral character may be true, I think it's too early to make predictions. I don't know anything about John Howard, so I can't speak intelligently about him. But I think it's reasonable to assume that Bush will be remembered as a president with lofty goals who did his best to help our country through a national tragedy, as in 9/11, and who tried to reshape society, as in Social Security and/or immigration reforms.

Unfortunately, what he will be remembered for above all else is Iraq, and for the (so far) 3,200+ Americans who died there in a war whose cause has ceased to be just and honorable to the majority of American citizens, in the name of fighting terrorism.

As for Blair, it could be many years before he is able to recover from the stigma of being perceived as Bush's lap dog. After all, he was more popular here than in the UK.

Answer 3

Dont worry about it..if the pelosi/reid regime has their way with cut and run, their may not be a next generation to deal with at all...open cowardice breeds further attacks by al qaeda here in the us which can and will have that type of potentially catastrophic affect.

Answer 4

if dems/liberals take control of the government completely,the next generation will be to busy studying the koran to worry about the last generation!

Answer 5
