You can't cast judgment on Bush until the situation in Iraq plays itself out fully. He attacked a country that didn't attack us for reasons only known to him. He claimed that it would lead the middle east into democracy. If, 20,30, 50 years or however long from now, he is right and the middle east is a democracy and there is relative peace then the sins of economic collapse will be forgotten and he will be the remembered as the guy who had the guts to start the ball rolling.
If not he will be remembered as a terrible president who started a war for no real reason and oversaw one of the largest economic collapses in modern times.
