Matthew 5:9

I can see it now. Early December 2008. While Laura is working with the removers to pack up the Bush family china and both of George's books for the move back to Crawford the soon-to-be-ex-President is sitting in the Oval office watching the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony from Oslo. He is a bitter man. After all he has done to, er, for world peace he has been passed over and his blood pressure rises as he sees Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Bashar al-Assad step forward to accept the award.

They were chosen after theirNovember 2006 summit with the then bitterly divided Iraqi government led to the end of the civil war and insurgency in Iraq. The normalisation of relations between Iraq and Syria was soon followed by the establishment of a free trade zone encompassing first of all of the middle east (including Israel and Palestine) and subsequently Africa, many former Soviet Republics, the Indian subcontinent, Malaysia, Indonesia and nearly all of Africa. (It should be obvious that this bloc also controls a great deal of the world's oil supply!) Peace broke out all over. (The combined Isaeli / Palestinean football side is waiting for approval from UEFA and FIFA to enter the upcoming World and European cup competitions!)

George is going home a bitter man and the is no legacy for Laura to pack.
