Iraq, George W. Bush and Decision Points
Anietie John Ukpe
George Bush, with the brusqueness of a bush man, is still sitting pretty and feeling cool with himself for invading Iraq and getting rid of Saddam Hussein. He has come out with an unmemorable memoir titled "Decision Points" which has been greeted with a yawn by the world. According to Jacob Heilbrunn of the National Interest, the book "offers an inadvertent reminder that you don´t have to be an interesting leader to be a terrible one." Even more severe in his assessment of the book, Jim Worth of the Huffington Post states, "We the people had to suffer through eight years of adversity and possibly the worst administration in U.S. history; one of the darkest most damaging times in recollection. The tribulations of his time in office could be felt for two or three more decades."
