I think the nature of Bush's "leadership" after September 11th is amply illustrated by the next two headlines. Rather succinctly, they sketch the result of our president's decision to channel national grief and outrage into fueling his war of choice, and an occupation that was little more than a barely controlled atmosphere of violence, both American (bloody fingers) and Iraqi (bloody uprising).

The violence will dissipate and calm will return to Iraq, as the American presence dissipates among a larger international coalition and American soldiers return home. Now, that would be a win-win situation.
