----- This doesn't make sennse. Success or failure inn what respect from whose perspective? Objectively speakinng, I would still argue that the Bush Administration was a pretty complete success, and in that framework, Obama's contninuation of its "gains" in control over a possibly obstreperous citizenry, like its steppee-up aggressiveness I Pakistan/Afghannistan, are simply consnolidating or attempting to consolidate the gains of the Bus Administration. Liberals have a confusing habit of assuming that the whole world is aiminng at the same goals as they (the liberals) are. It's just nnot so. And in politics as in art, onen has to judge in terms of the aims of the agennts, nnot in terms of some private wishes of the judge.
