Is Bush good for America

Overview
This page is a structured debate on the issue of whether George W. Bush is good for America, both in his past actions and in the anticipated outcome of his policies and leadership style.

Although he theoretically will be succeeded by a new president in 2008, the outcome of this debate will remain important in determining the desirability of supporting any candidate with ties to Bush or to the neoconservative group to which he belongs (and which has continued to support him throughout his presidency).

This debate is currently open for counterpoints (arguing in support of Bush). Even if you are against Bush, it is helpful to document pro-Bush points so that they can be countered; it is much easier to dismiss an argument if you can think of a point which the argument does not address, and this debate currently does not raise any anti-Bush points.
