I tried to warn you George W. Bush was the worst president in American history in my last book, "Invasion of Privacy". Its premise, which you can read here, asserted the U.S.A. Patriot Act was enacted to whitewash the fact that government incompetence led to 9/11. This is no far-flung conspiracy theory.

A July 2001 memo by an FBI agent in Phoenix “about Middle Eastern men possibly connected to Osama bin Laden taking flight lessons” was ignored by FBI headquarters. FBI agents then arrested Zacarias Moussaoui, the 20th hijacker, in August 2001. FBI attorney Coleen Rowley wanted to connect the dots by coordinating with the CIA but she was rebuffed by the brass at FBI headquarters because of a childish turf war between America's top "intelligence" agencies. In a stinging rebuke to FBI Director Robert Mueller, Agent Rowley accused FBI headquarters of hampering field agents from investigating Moussaoui and the implication that he only wanted to learn to take off and didn't want landing lessons.

But I digress. In eight short years George W. Bush transformed the greatest democracy in history into a broke and broken socialized country. He squandered the good will it took America over a century to build up with the rest of the world in a few years. George Bush seemingly did the impossible. He gave "democracy" a bad name!
