'Great' meaning what? He's the least literate for starters. Least respected internationally. Least informed about the world.

Often, you get a leader who has a good feel for the pulse of the nation and the world. Bush doesn't have that.

Clinton was a better US President for the month or so of 2001 (because the 21st century started in 2001, and yes, I am anal about that) that he served than Bush has been for his five years in office, so yes, I refute your assertion Serapindal, and I mock whilst doing so.

I refute the point by claiming that the French President is the best president of the 21st century.

Please note, there's probably a better one than the French, but thus the American President, Bush, is not the best of the 21st century.

Maybe the best US President of the 21st century... (but then also the only one).

Hmm, isn't Robert Mugabe's title 'President of Zimbabwe'? I'd say he's marginally better than Bush - at least he had the decency to only fuck up his own country and get his own citizens killed - and his country isn't fucking up the climate, invading everywhere else... well you see where I'm going with this.

Please note 'marginally', and also that this is in relation to Bush. This does not mean in any way that I condone Mugabe's regime. He is in fact a total bastard.

By that logic a person who goes to work everyday and takes care of their family is lesser than a person who goes to work and kills his boss and then comes home and murders his family in their sleep. Correct? I mean the first dude didn't do anything, but the second guy's life is full of "fun" and "adventure".

George W. Bush is the greatest president ever the 21st century.
Can anyone refute that? Don't think so.

I refute because…

1) 21st century only began, so, there is little point of appointing “The greatest president ever the 21st century”; it would be fair to wait and see what 21st century has to offer. ;)

2) IMO, Bush is among the worst presidents ever; probably rivaled only by Russian President Elzin.

Only putin is only worse 21st century president than this Bush Jr....

Actually, IMO, Putin quite a good president. Not only he isn’t running amuck invading various small countries, but he actually attempts to bring some order into such a royally messed-up country as Russia, from the look of things.

P.S.

By the way, I don’t consider all those African presidents-turned-dictators as “presidents”. It is they way person comes to power (and remains in power) which defines president from dictator, not how he calls himself.

have a ceremonial office only.


I think East Timor's president Xanana Gusmao holds a ceremonial office only.




He helped the people of East Timor end 450 years of continuous foreign occupation, so he was pretty easily elected.

Or was Boris Yelstin partially responsible.

Roots of Chechnya Wars: Russia's Sovereignty
http://covertaction.org//content/view/45/0/

On October 7, 1999, Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov sent a letter to outgoing NATO Secretary-general, Javier Solano. The president of the breakaway Russian republic called upon the alliance "to intervene in accordance with the new world order."1
In order to understand the roots of the current terrible war between Russia and Islamic fundamentalist insurgents in the Federated Republic of Chechnya, and to begin to understand the reasons for foreign interference—both covert and overt—it is necessary to review a few historical facts.

Dude if your going to criticize republican presidents don't go for Eisenhower. How about Hoover or Nixon. Grant, Harding, or Coolidge weren't so great either, but EISENHOWER he did the same as Clinton. Nothing! Actually, the economy was booming and he did not get us into any wars (which wasn't easy then).

George Bush is the greatest president of the 21st Century. He is also the worst. You have to take in the fact that Clinton's job was a lot easier than Bush's. Bush has made major mistakes, but he is not evil and he did not cause 9/11 that was Al Qaeda. Bush's biggest mistake by far was the post-war plan in Iraq. He did a piss-poor job and our soldiers have been praying the price for many months. O and to whoever mentioned Operation Jazzman, that is really similar to Indonesian terrorists claiming that the U.S. launched a nuke to cause the tsunami. Notice how similar terrorist propaganda is to the far left's propaganda. :cool:
