It's not often that I can say I had an insight before John Hinderaker regarding politics. In this Iraqi election day post, Hindrocket concludes:
President Bush is not content to be the best President since Reagan; he wants to be the greatest President since Lincoln. I still think he has a shot. The next few months will tell a great deal.
I left this comment on December 13 over at Roger L. Simon's site regarding the visit of Mohammed and Omar:
Roger,
You are history.
History in the making that is. You have created a breathtaking seat for yourself in world events. I suspect only those who never seek the seat will ever sit in it.
Unlike architecture or wine or sex partners, getting it right in world events in the 21st century is clear cut. (Thank God!) America is getting it right; that so many otherwise fine and good people see so much wrong with America staggers me.
George W. Bush will stand with Washington and Lincoln as one third of the triumvirate of America's greatest presidents (yes, he will surpass Reagan). His work and his contribution and his vision are that significant.
God Bless Omar, Mohammed, and Ali, and all of the Iraqis who want nothing more than all of the wonderful blessings and problems peace and prosperity brings. I truly cannot think of a better Christmas present than to see Iraq get what it has fought for and deserves!
Great minds think alike! Oh wait, let me say that in Minnesotan: Great minds think alike, eh!
