George W. Bush confronts a long and lonely walk down the hallway of history.

So asserts this brilliant article by James Moore that chronicles the likely future of the President who will be forever immortalized in Google as a "miserable failure." "There will be loyalists and radical ideologues that will remain his confidantes and treat him deferentially, but he is poised to become a man estranged from the country and the people who endured eight years of his deadly inadequacies. We will not want to talk or think about President Bush because he will be a symbol of how our democracy went horribly wrong just like O.J. Simpson turned into an icon of the failure of our criminal justice system. Mr. Bush has suggested he will be dead before historians trying to understand his legacy "get it right." But he is wrong, again. The president is grasping at the concept that he has set in motion a process in the Middle East that will not be fulfilled until he has become dust. A tiny number of fervent believers like the president are still convinced the U.S. presence in Iraq will lead to democracy and stabilization when every scintilla of evidence indicates only escalating chaos and death. Even though he refuses to admit mistakes, the rest of this country and the wider global community have reached the unavoidable conclusion that America's invasion of Iraq was a monumental blunder. Historians examining that decision and its political and economic impact will have a similar judgment and looking at the facts through the focal length of decades will only amplify the ignorance of this president's choices."
