They have showed a singular lack of leadership in encouraging the improvement of science eduction and have encouraged policies that threaten to make the US lag behind countries like Finland and Slovenia in genetic research. I'm not sure how to gauge exactly how effective this war on science has been, but I do know this: Bush's War on Terror has <i>increased</i> the amount of terrorism in the world. Bush's War on Science has <i>not</i> increased the amount of science in the world (except perhaps in places other than the US). ipso fatso, Q.E.2, my point stands.
