Given that the majority of regulars on this forum are not fans of the Bush administration, I thought it might be interesting to consider what elements of their policies you agree with (if any).
For me a number spring to mind:
(1) As I have said before on here I generally approve of the Bush administration stance with regards to Northern lreland. They have made clear to the paramilitaries that it is up to them to verifiably disarm and then come forward to the negotating table - not the other way around. I agree with the thrust of this policy. Bill and Hils were too fond of photo-opportunities with Sinn Fein for my liking.
(2) Colombia. The Bush adminstration supports the elected government against the rebel groups/paramilitaries. While neither side is perfect in this conflict, I think they are right on this stance.
(3) After Enron collapsed the Bush adminstration put through legislation to reduce the likelihood of such a large scale corporate collapse recurring. Most if not all of these corporate scandals that emerged during the Bush adminstration - the reality is they were brewing under the Clinton administraton. I think that tightening up the legislation in relation to white collar wrongdoing was the right way to go and the Bush adminstration bit the bullet and put through the legislation (Sarbanes-Oxley etc)
(4) John Roberts seems to be a man of integrity and I think he was a pretty good appointee to the Supreme Court.
