UNDOING BUSH: How to repair eight years of sabotage, bungling and neglect

[threeplusfire]

George W Bush has done more to transform the nation than any American president since Franklin D. Roosevelt. Indeed, he may well be the perfect anti-Roosevelt. He has taken a propserous nation and mired it in war, replaced our national composure with terror and left behind him a legacy of damage so profound that repairing it will likely be the work of generations. Before the next administration can return to solving the already considerable problems the nation faced in 2000, it must begin to correct the misdeeds and missteps of the current one. And as Roosevelt demonstrated, the road back from perdition cannot be found without a good map. To that end, Harper's Magazine has assembled a group of journalists and thinkers to survey the damage, to determine what may (or may not) be remedied and to find our way forward.

Sarah and I rented "Jesus Camp" last night.
It made me doubt the possibility of undoing any of Bush's damage.
