43rd president of the
United States and subject of much controversy.
He was elected with a minority of the popular vote and a highly disputed electoral vote in
Florida (won by a few hundred votes), and many citizens refer to him as "stealing the election".
He presided over the country after the attacks of September 11th and subsequently overthrew the governments of Afghanistan (in direct response for said attacks) and
Iraq (on the premise of enforcing
UN regulations on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction). The invasion of Iraq was enacted without the support of the UN itself and was fraught with controversy. The most common accusation is that Bush invaded Iraq for its oil supplies (aside from insulting his intelligence).
Bush's record during the Vietnam War has also been called into question. Bush served in the Texas National Guard air corp, but accusations have been raised about him showing up for duty. This controversy cannot be solved, as the records which applied to Bush's service were
lost while they were transfered from microfilm to
computer.
George W. Bush may be the most hated president of all time. Only
history can tell what he has accomplished.
