Bush's legacy of political devastation

The daily Večer writes about Bush's policy in Iraq and Afghanistan: "The US president's ... first visit to these two countries was a 'fireworks' display. A fireworks display that was triggered by fighter planes, bombers and tomahawk missiles and in which Taliban and Saddam Hussein's soldiers, but above all innocent civilians lost their lives. ... With its war on terrorism the American leadership has also pulled [other] countries into the hell of terrorism ... - starting with Spain and the UK. In 2003 and 2005 the terrorists orchestrated terrorist attacks in these countries. And because of the American leadership countries became involved in disputes with each other, both within the EU and at an international level. Bush leaves a legacy of ... political devastation. He has passed on to his successor Barack Obama the heaviest burden a newly elected president has ever been confronted with: the task of ending two wars without admitting defeat."
