It is getting reported as though their is no historical context to the situation. What took decades to establish, he removed within one year of his presidency

When Bill Clinton left office, talks between the North and South were going on, along with the sunshine policy. Within one year of bush taking office, he forced South Korea out of any talks or relationship with North Korea. It was only recently that he is trying to get it back where Clinton left off.

Remember the active roll Bill Clinton took, along with MOST of the preceeding administrations to negotiate a two-state peace solution between the Palestinians and Israellis? The moment bush took office, he insured that no further negotiations would take place, and in fact ignored that entire issue.

Remember the report that Hart and Rudman provided to the Clinton administration, and passed on to the bush administration regarding 9/11, BEFORE 9/11 happened. Dick Cheney took that report, and threw it in the garbage, saying if we needed it we would do our own.

The economy, international affairs, environment, healthcare, scientific advances, and so many other issues have been set back decades because of the policies of this administration.

I certainly hope Americans realize what the republicans have done to them these past 8 years?
