George & Tony's Not So Excellent Adventure
June 5, 2006 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair's search for a legacy in light of plummeting ratings and widespread disapproval of the war in Iraq. Bush and Blair, the author claims, are almost solely responsible for the war on Iraq and so there is no one they can blame that mistake on. Instead, the author points out, these leaders argue that history will vindicate them. Rebutted by the past and rejected in the present, the author says the future is the only thing they can hold to. Only when we are all dead, Bush and Blair seem to say, will the genius of the war become clear.
