How Bush's Address Might Succeed
Washington is abuzz about President Bush's prime-time address tomorrow evening. With even Rumsfeld agreeing that the Iraq War is basically a disaster, the debt problem a looming catastrophe that the Bush administration has made far worse, and Bush's approval ratings roughly tied with public support for more Porky's sequels, the President has apparently determined that a few well-turned phrases may turn things around.
To get people's mind off the war and our looming fiscal apocalypse, might I recommend that Bush propose a bold new education plan? Borrowing a page from China, he could unveil the "One Child Left Behind Policy." Every year, an especially stupid American child will be left behind in Fallujah, to serve as a lesson to his/her peers. Enough coddling, I say. It's time to make sure our students are the best educated in the world, except for that science stuff.
Most important, I think President Bush might want to stay mum on the whole negotiating with the terrorists thing.
