What Bush Got Right

People are asking themselves a question: "Could he possibly have been right?"
Here is an interesting MSNBC article and here is a quote:

"If Bush is to be credited for the benefits of his policies, he must also take responsibility for their costs. Over the past three years, his administration has racked up enormous costs, many of which could easily have been lowered or avoided altogether. The pointless snubbing of allies, the brusque manner in which it went to war in Iraq, the undermanned occupation and the stubborn insistence (until last summer) on pursuing policies that were fueling both an insurgency and anti-Americanism in Iraq�all have taken their toll in thousands of American and Iraqi lives and almost $300 billion."
