That narrative of American history and nationhood, understood by so many in such simple, basic terms - a story of overcoming challenges and adversity in a struggle for freedom and equality.
American history and life is indeed not so simple and able to fit into a nice, fluid narrative. History is more complex and very often understood in ways that are more convenient and comforting, rather than 100% truthful.
Where will George Bush as an individual fit into the narrative? Where will his presidency?
Where will the narrative go from here?
When will we learn the hard truths about our country's narrative? When will we come to grips with the intrusions and abuses of liberty, equality and justice by the hands of individuals in government with good intentions but failed, destructive results?
