George Bush did nothing, but strengthen the hold the nut jobs had on the country by reinforcing their fear mongering that America would attack them.

No, no, no you totally missed the point.
In the here and now, things are clear in recent memory. Of course we don't attribute the growth of reform movements in Iran to George Bush.
I'm just saying that as time passes, history has a funny way of remembering things. If big advancements are made in stability and democracy in that region over the next 50 years. If for instance Palestine becomes a real state, Iran continues to become more moderate and so fourth, then one might reasonably say, looking back, that it started with the Bush policies.
