Europeans know about the damage Bush has done to world peace and the environment, but his impact on Americans doesn’t get much coverage at home or abroad. Before Bush, US voters elected Bill Clinton who took action on women’s issues. When the Right attacked him for his personal stupidity, feminists argued that his sex life was his own, and that his enemies were determined to prevent social change. Clinton had appointed more women and people of color to the courts and public positions than all his predecessors combined ! The attacks on him came from well-funded racists and evangelicals (the conspiracy that Hilary Clinton was then smart enough to publicize). But the media helped to set the stage for an intense backlash led by the neoconservatives. They are now attacking not only Iraq but the American poor as well.
