Review # 1 was written on 2007-07-01 00:00:00 Paul Christopher A necessary read for anyone interested in knowing the full extent of the Bush regime's manifold crimes. A civil rights litigator prior to his career as a preeminent commentator in the left-leaning blogosphere, Greenwald lays out his case in a lawyerly fashion. It is impossible to mistake his driving argument - that Bush's overly simplistic view of America's role as essentially Good and America's supposed enemies as essentially Evil has led our nation down the road of failure - and the evidence is replete. Greenwald does not present a tricky rhetorical argument; he has no need to when neoconservatives and Bush supporters are so willing to openly state their nefarious goals and the equally nefarious means used to achieve them. Instead, he does exactly that which Bush and his ilk are incapable of doing: mustering a rational argument based on empirical evidence. How have so many true American patriots been so effectively defamed and sidelined since 9/11? Greenwald's take on the American mainstream media is critical to understanding our pundit class and its creation of political consensus. As difficult as it is to read about our nation's great fall under the Bush regime, seeing the events clearly laid out in stepwise fashion gives hope: Bush's choice of his core beliefs over reason and experience could have only led him to his current abject position. He will never acknowledge his failures, not even privately to the supposedly loving God in whose name he justifies his bellicosity. The American people, however, have already chosen to abandon the boy-king incapable of admitting error and adjusting his course accordingly. In over two hundred years of American history, Bush is without question the worst and most destructive leader we have ever had. If you read only one dissection of the Bush presidency, Greenwald's is an excellent choice. See Greenwald's blog:

This put together many notions I have been having in the last 6 years in a way that nothing else has. Greenwald knows his stuff. This is what happens when people vote for the guy they'd rather have a beer with than the person who would make the wisest, most responsible leader for this country. Greenwald's blog on Salon is a must-read as well.
