Is it possible for you to complete a sentence without becoming overly melodramatic? Bush has not "single-handedly" done anything, presidents do not have that kind of authority and power. I realize you had to play it like that for the elections, but they are over and you won, so let's stop with the over-the-top melodrama, and put things back into realistic perspective here.
In 2056, we can have the debate over whether Bush's invasion of Iraq was for better or worse, and to do so before, is ignorant short-sided emotionalism. You are entitled to this opinion, and you don't have to substantiate it one bit, people believe all sorts of shit, some people still think FDR knew about Pearl Harbor and did nothing to stop it. But to make an informed, objective evaluation of Iraq, there are far too many factors in play, and other things that can happen, and no way of knowing how those things will pan out, so any prediction of how history will see Iraq, or American involvement, the Bush Doctrine, Democracy in the Arab world, or the connection to the War on Terror, is foolish and baseless at this point.
As for your girlfriend's little sweet pontification, I'll just say, I hope she sticks to shopping for boots and flirting with men on the Internet. Geopolitics seem to be completely over her pretty little pinhead.
