It's not the only article to address the failure of the Bush presidency thus far, but it is one of the better ones insofar as it's comprehensive and sweeping without being confusing or too academic for the average reader to understand.

This is the perfect time to say, "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Not that every C student who has ever lived didn't learn from history, but most of those didn't have the obstinacy of a bull combined withe the excessive pride of a diva.

Thanks so much for that link. I have NEVER been so depressed about our government. And I've lived through the Nixon and Reagan presidencies. I might not have agreed with their policies, but never did I feel that they were actually undermining the bedrock upon which our government is founded. I find this administration terrfying. Where basic human rights are ignored (I see the woman at the CIA that leaked we were sending people abroad to be tortured was just fired) and our Constitution is seen as a road block.
