A lot will depend on how things turn out in Iraq. I know that's not very profound, sorry. In his defense, he did envision a lot of long term plans. It is not too ironic that you mention Lincoln. He was hated, (yes, really) when he was in office. It was not until he was martyred by Booth that people started pining for him. In winning the Civil War, he did a lot of damage to the US Constitution. Ron Paul tired to make this point on Real Time and DL had to make a joke that made everyone forget what was being talked about.
Both Presidents have done a lot to damage the constitution. I think in 50-100 years from now if schools improve that is what people should remember about both of them-the way both of them violated our right to justify some short term goal.
