He will, undoubtedly, and this may have a something to do with his unusually
decent behaviour lately. Many bad presidents make a mess first and when they
see the end of their carreer coming near they suddenly realize that they
will be mentioned in the history books.

=========================================================
Let's not be deluded about Bush.
No sooner had he sat next to Nobel Peace Prize winner the Dalai Lama
yesterday, while Congress bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor on HH,
but Bush immedaitely afterward addressed the nation about his priorities on
all network TV stations and said the following: that world leaders must
prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons "if you're interested in avoiding
World War III."
Just last year in a commemoration of the attack on the Towers in NYC Bush
commented that the attack was the start of World War III.
So the fact that Bush said complimentary things abut HHDL yesterday has
nothing to do with the real agenda of GWBush and of Dick Cheney, Bush's
mastermind. They have both been trying to ramp up support for attacking Iran
for the past three years. This effort is intensifying day by day.
Meanwhile, as Congressman Dennis Kucinich said on radio station KGO (SF)
this morning, Russia is joining in the world war talk started by the US
administration by seeking allies in the Middle East as protection for what
Putin sees as Russian oil and geopolitical interests.
Kucinich wants impeachment put back on the table and said he was going to
talk this morning with the speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, who took
impeachment "off the table." He said that Congress has now got to get a
spine and start acting to stop this president from starting yet another war
that will cause untold misery not just to us but to the world.
Meanwhile the big corporation-dominated media in the country are ramping up
for war against Iran--item: Kucinich said he tried to get the NYT to admit
they mistranslated what Ahmadinejad said about Israel, that he really said
they needed a "change in government there," not that Ahm. urged the
"destruction of Israel," but the NYT would not change their story. Guess
why.
Bush is getting more schizoid by the day, and his kind comments on HHDL
yesterday followed by his near call for starting WWIII is the latest case in
point. Bush obviously wants his "legacy" in history books to be war not
peace, and he has been that way from the beginning of his presidency.
