I'll give Bush Afghanistan (if we complete the follow-through), but the jury is still out on Iraq.

You can't be serious. What is your definition of Totalitarian. Are you trying to tell me that the Taliban was not running pretty much every aspect of the Afghani's lives? The Taliban were probably in the top five of the most totalitarian regimes of all time. Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Taliban....
