Bush is History

After eight years causing chaos and controversial headlines around the world, the late President of the United States of America, George W. Bush, has made his final public address from the White House earlier today.

He reflected on his eight-year rule as a tough one because he has made some of the toughest decisions yet for a President of America.

"I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right. You may not agree with some tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions."

When he first won the election, most of us haven't got any clues toward him. To be fair, there wasn't much to criticize until the 9/11 event came along. His credentials were put into test after that. Oh, how much we hated his decision to invade Afghanistan.

The original plan to invade Afghanistan was to eliminate the terrorist threats from Osama bin Laden. But as the war continued, his obsession with Osama became unreal. Thousands of civilians were killed during the attack, but did he achieve his objective? Absolutely not.

A few years later, the invasion on Iraq happened. That attack became clearer that his intention was to eliminate the Muslim World rather than eliminating the terrorists. The weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Husein's dictatorship, and rebuilding Iraq were just a smokescreen to cover up his real intention: to put American influence and to take control of the oil industry in Iraq.

He may have succeeded in achieving what the late Bush has failed to do, but he will always be seen as a failure through our eyes. So in conclusion, his departure was not a loss, but a gain for us. I'm looking forward to the Inauguration Day next week.
