Last night I watched Bringing Down a Dictator on PBS. Even though it dealt with issues that at one time seemed a world away (the Milosevic regime in Serbia), today it seems to have an unsettling parallel.
Fixing elections, violence and wars, goverment restrictions, massive unemployment - it's not hard to make the comparison to Bush.
On the positive side, what caused the downfall of Milosevic was Otpor - student activists who engaged the country with their non-violent tactics. Change can be made.
