Look at the amazing job he's done uniting Iraq and Iran, formerly sworn enemies engaged in a bloody, 8-year long war, in which both sides were alternately aided and impeded by the US. Just the other day,
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari "The US soldiers are doing much harm to Iraqis and to the peoples of the region." The Ayatollah's new-found concern for the Iraqi people is touching. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the proposed crude oil and petroleum products pipelines that will be criss-crossing the Iraq-Iran border in the months ahead.
For his part, Prime Minister Jaafari said that his visit to Iran had "consolidated relations" between the two countries. It's probably just a coincidence that the Iran will be providing Iraq with the refined oil products that have been in short supply since the US invasion and subsequent insurgent attacks on refineries and other oil infrastructure facilities, and has absolutely nothing to do with Iran's promise of $1 billion in reconstruction aid for the Iraqi government.
Yes, now that the troublesome secular wedge between Iraq and Iran (that would be Saddam, by the way) is out of the picture, it looks like Bush's brilliantly conceived and executed domino theory is about to shake loose, paving the way for a new political structure across the entire Middle East. Of course, it's not exactly going to consist of the pro-western democracies we would have prefered, but you can't plan for everything, can you?
