Bush's Africa Legacy

Andrew Natsios, a Georgetown University professor and former director of USAID, writes about the Bush legacy in Africa. With Bush's approval ratings in the 80% range and Sudanese boys being named George Bush, I think it's fair to say that Bush's overlooked efforts in Africa have been wildly successful to the populations there.

While Bush's critics have given him little credit for his African initiatives, they will be among his most enduring legacies in a region of the world neglected by policymakers from both parties for too long. Africans will long remember what Bush' critics have ignored.

Yet another example of improved American relations abroad.
