IS GEORGE BUSH THE WORST PRESIDENT -- EVER?

Points against him:

He has taken the country into an unwinnable war and alienated friend and foe alike in the process;

He is bankrupting the country with a combination of aggressive military spending and reduced taxation of the rich;

He has deliberately and dangerously attacked separation of church and state;

He has repeatedly "misled," to use a kind word, the American people on affairs domestic and foreign;

He has proved to be incompetent in affairs domestic (New Orleans) and foreign (Iraq and the battle against al-Qaida);

He has sacrificed American employment (including the toleration of pension and benefit elimination) to increase overall productivity;

He is ignorantly hostile to science and technological progress;

He has tolerated or ignored one of the republic's oldest problems, corporate cheating in supplying the military in wartime.

I'd consider that to be a good thing if a president drafted only war supporters to fight.  Theoretically, it sounds like a great idea, since war supporters would be supposedly very willing to fight and die for the cause of the war.
Unfortunately, in actuality, a disturbingly large amount of them aren't actually willing to fight by choice (thus the "chickenhawk" term), and would therefore, due to their fear, not be a dependable source of decent soldiers (or competent military personnel in general).

While many of these "war supporters" own guns, I wouldn't be suprised if the majority of them, give or take knowledge of basic operation and trigger discipline, even knew how to use their weapons to a degree acceptable within the armed forces.

The bottom line: whether or not they make effective soldiers, sending war supporters would force them to back up their talk, and their most certain failure would establish a much different precedent amongst the public on which wars we think it's in our best interests to fight.
