The Water Cooler Title: just an example of Bush lovers Skip to comments. Bush is the Next Reagan Persian Journal ^ | Jun 4, 2006 | Slater Bakhtavar Posted on 06/04/2006 2:24:14 PM PDT by nuconvert Bush is the Next Reagan Jun 4, 2006 Slater Bakhtavar - Persian Journal The same people who heavily criticized former President Reagan for his tough stance against Communism and for his aggressive push for democracy in Eastern Europe are now attacking President Bush for his tough stance against fundamentalism and his aggressive push for democracy in the Middle East. -They argued then that Communism would never fall - it did They argue now that Islamic Fundamentalism will never fall - it will -They argued then that the Soviet Union is too strong - it wasn't They argue now that the insurgency is too strong - it isn't -They argued that Reagans vision of democracy in East Europe would never work - it did They argue now that Bushs vision of democracy for the mid-east would never work - it will They argued then that Reagans evil empire speech was a failure - it wasn't They argue now that Bushs axis of evil speech is a failure - it won't be -They argued then that former soviet bloc countries wouldn't embrace democracy - they did They argue now that middle east countries would never embrace democracy - they will -They argued then that Eastern Europeans nations would never be our allies - they are They argue now that middle eastern countries will never be our allies - they will be -They argued then that people without God could never embrace democracy - they did They argue now that Muslims will never embrace democracy - they will -They argued then that President Reagan was unrealistic - he wasn't They argue now that President Bush is unrealistic - he'll prove he isn't -They argued then democracy isn't universal to former Communists - it was They argue now democracy isn't universal to Middle Easterners - it will be -They argued then that funding of pro-democracy groups in Eastern European countries won't work - it did They argue now that funding of pro-democracy groups won't work in the Middle East - it will The same exact critcism was directed at Reagan. The future will be the judge of President Bush and my guess is that he will be judged as the Great Liberator of the Middle East.

He wasn't. They say Bush is wrong to make the War on Terror a worldwide struggle. He's not! 8 posted on 06/04/2006 2:31:25 PM PDT by StJacques [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies | Report Abuse ] To: StJacques My view(s) also!!!! 9 posted on 06/04/2006 2:32:27 PM PDT by Blake#1 [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 8 | View Replies | Report Abuse ] To: nuconvert While I'm not in agreement with everything done by this president, keep in mind that, during his administration, many on the right criticized Reagan for not being tough enough on communism. Quite a different persepective in hindsight. 10 posted on 06/04/2006 2:32:57 PM PDT by Larry Lucido [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies | Report Abuse ] To: nuconvert "The same people who heavily criticized former President Reagan for his tough stance against Communism and for his aggressive push for democracy in Eastern Europe are now attacking President Bush for his tough stance against fundamentalism and his aggressive push for democracy in the Middle East." BS. (very) few moderate/conservative Republicans would argue that the President is doing an EXCELLENT job on the WOT, judiciary, etc. The areas of improvement are spending and immigration. 11 posted on 06/04/2006 2:34:05 PM PDT by jdm [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies | Report Abuse ] To: Cinnamon History will be kind to our President Bush.. and the Chamberlains of the world will be just that.. a heap of cowardice that bit the dust in history's writings Despite what all the naysayers, on both the right and left, claim, President Bush will be well regarded by history. I know this for a fact as I will be one of those writing it. 12 posted on 06/04/2006 2:35:16 PM PDT by COEXERJ145 (Every person has a photographic memory - but some don't have their flash card installed.)

Would you care to nitpick any of the others? 15 posted on 06/04/2006 2:41:52 PM PDT by nuconvert ([there's a lot of bad people in the pistachio business]) [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 11 | View Replies | Report Abuse ] To: gwb43_2004 I agree on Terrorism and much of W's other efforts, but there are those that I don't. Chiefly among them is immigration; and, on this he will not win, nor will he go down in history as a winner, period. 16 posted on 06/04/2006 2:42:29 PM PDT by Gaffer [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 14 | View Replies | Report Abuse ] To: onyx Ping to you. 17 posted on 06/04/2006 2:43:20 PM PDT by COEXERJ145 (Every person has a photographic memory - but some don't have their flash card installed.)
