Jesus Christ himself can be the president of the United States, but if he is a Republican, he will be guaranteed an irrational worldwide hatred. Bush, with much less talent than Christ, had no other choice, but to rule in favor of his country and to ignore what outsiders thought.
He is trusted to have a great strategy to, once and for all, settle Afghanistan, a country where British, Soviet and NATO allies have failed for 100 years, to draw the troops from Iraq without causing more shame, to close Guantánamo without, in the process, allowing terrorists to escape, to teach the Iranians the errors of their ways.
