George Walker Bush is not a good role model for any national leader. I opposed his ranting about Iraq from the absolute beginning. He was determined to carry out an agenda planned long before he took office.
However, just because Bush was the world's nightmare it doesn't give any nation the right to take up a strategy of nationalism to facilitate conflict. That man killed a lot of innocent people and destabilized a nation. That isn't even close to USA policy with any other country, but, it was a very dark time in the USA and he and his Vice President got away with it because the USA had such an overwhelming military presence. There was no one to oppose the USA.
The world needs peace, not confrontation or some faux idea that a particular language is under siege. Russia's actions with post soviet states is grossly inappropriate. Let there be no doubt, I oppose the actions and priorities of Russia.
