Thank You For A Safer World

The Bush Administration has taken a lot of heat over the last eight years for well, everything and anything. Bush bashing is in vogue especially among the Democrats. I have long held the belief that the Dems gripes with the President have less to do with policies and more to do with the bitterness of losing so many bids for the White House. Just look at what Senator Clinton said in her appearance at yesterdays Obama Campaign rally. Clinton complained that the Democrats have only won three elections in the last forty years. If you ask me that means the Democratic Party is out of step with the American People. The Bush bashing is not limited to the Dems. The liberal media has done a lot more than just report the news during Bush's term, they have made it an eight year opinion editorial of his Presidency. So having said all of that, it's unlikely that President Bush will receive much credit for the recent developments in North Korea. Yesterday the North Koreans demolished the 60 foot tall cooling tower at the Yongbyon Nuclear Center, in a major first step towards ending it's nuclear program. Let me tell you something, at that moment, the World became much safer. With all of the nuclear proliferation around the globe, I admit that I was pleasantly surprised to see some positive news for a change. The destruction of the nuclear cooling tower was only part of the deal. North Korea also made a 60 page declaration of its nuclear capabilities in a unprecedented move for disclosure. North Korea also committed to destroying, under international monitoring, the remaining parts of the nuclear plant. Absolutely great news! So where is President Bush's praise for a job well done? After all, this was an amazing piece of diplomacy. All we did was take North Korea off of our State sponsors of terrorism list and lifted some sanctions. The North Korean's really are not terrorists anyway. So in return we made the World safer and have verifiable results unlike Clinton's bum deal with North Korea back in 1994. Don't think Bush deserves the credit? Remember his State Of The Union Speech from a few years ago? He called out North Korea and Iran including them in his "axis of evil". I hope no sane person would debate the threat posed by Iran, and now years after Bush spoke tough about North Korea, we have positive results. It reminds me of President Reagan calling out the "Evil Empire" back in the 1980's. Say what you want about President Bush. I think that Bush lead us through eight of the most difficult years in recent American history with flying colors. We have been safe since 9/11, the terrorists are on the defensive, and North Korea is ending its nuclear program. Oh I almost forgot, Lybia ended their nuclear program a few years ago too. Since the mainstream media will not say it, I will. Thank you Mr. President for a job well done.
