Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), we don't have a parliamentary system here. When we elect someone, we're stuck with them for at least 4 years, unless they pull a Nixon stunt. Bush Sr. did a good job with Desert Storm...but the economy killed him. It didn't help him that he was so aloof during the '92 elections either.
You can't deny Dubya credit where credit is due. As I said, I don't like the guy, but he's handling this rather well. By this point, we could've bombed Afghanistan into oblivion, but it's still there...for now anyway.
