What have been Pres. Bush's successes?

KScott and I have actually discussed this before to some extent, but I’d love some more input. We were theorizing as to how history will view Bush’s terms. I think that Bush’s successes have been few and far between, personally, even from the perspective of a typical Republican. So I’ll throw out some options, and if you have any to add or contest, please put them in the comments.

From a Republican standpoint:

Supreme Court and District Court appointments

Response to 9/11 in Afghanistan

Tax Cuts

No Child Left Behind (?)

From a general historical standpoint

Response to 9/11 in Afghanistan

No Child Left Behind (?)

I think it is too soon to determine whether Iraq will be a success or not. Also, I think history will look very unfavorably upon Bush’s fiscal policy, of which the tax cuts are a part. Republicans tend to view these policies as more separate. I frankly don’t know enough about NCLB to discuss it, so I am throwing it out there in case anyone can enlighten me.

Later I will post some of his failures from my perspective, although I am sure you can guess a few already.
