Negative Points
- Anti-environment
- Pro-big-business
- Conservative Christian outlook (this is being filed under negative for now, but if someone wants to defend it...)
- Lied about his intentions in invading Iraq, claiming there was strong evidence of WMDs when it seems clear that there was none
- Responded to violence (9/11) with violence (unsanctioned invasion of a non-involved country)
- Against same-sex marriage
- Supportive of big business (part of the Republican platform)
Positive Points
- Removed Saddam Hussein from power
- Pushed ahead with reconstruction in Iraq when popular opinion was against occupation after the first few weeks. (If you want to see how pulling out of reconstruction early due to public demand has disastrous results, look at the curtailed reconstruction of Vietnam, for instance)
- Disarmed Libya of its chemical, nuclear, biological WMDs.
- Signed largest nuclear arm reduction ever with Russia.
- States his personal views and governs with his morals (A somewhat-positive flipside to the somewhat-negative Conservative Christian outlook)
- Republican
Debatable Points
- Pushed the No Child Left Behind Act
- Pushed for family-centric reforms (e.g., reformed adoption laws, requiring adopting parents to have background checks before getting children)
