Bracing for the Twilight of George W. Bush

How will George W. Bush use his last 12 weeks in office? The Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland writes that this weekend’s raid on Syria offers a hint of what to expect. “However we are meant to read it, the attack on Syria looks a lot like a parting shot from Bush, an end-of-the-movie reminder of what this long and bloody saga has been about,” he writes. In the anything-goes “twilight zone” that comes after November 4, all bets are off, Freedland suggests: We could just as easily be looking at an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal as a strike on Iran.
