you know, john mccain and george w. bush talks about this, he distances himself from the presidency. that's no surprise given where his approval rating was. i agree with julian, the tea party 15 response to many of the big government initiatives that did come out. whether it was no child left behind or it was the medicare prescription drug benefit. but i think that's being said. you are right. president bush has been more quiet. which leads me to believe that he sort of feels as though what he should be judged on is what he did, not necessarily what he's planning on doing. >> julian zelizer will you give us his writing of katrina and your assessment? >> he admits mistakes and not being aggressive enough and acknowledging the government failure to respond to that. he admits the photo op was a bad choice. there are limits though, you know, i think a lot of the critics said this really revealed how little policy concern there was for urban america. and it wasn't just katrina, it was the state of the cities that was just a

arizona, a member of the armed services committee, senior republican on the armed services committee john mccainnator mccain, should we have seen this coming? >> i think so. we should have seen this coming when the egyptian government failed to move forward with a process of democratization. the last election was particularly flawed. by the way, madeleine albright, the head of n.d.i., called for observers. russ feingold and i had a resolution in support of human rights in egypt. so a lot of this should have been seen. this administration and the liberal left in america viewed bush's "democracy" efforts as a way or an excuse to go to war. when president obama refused to support the people in the streets of tehran, when a young woman bled to death and that was a scene seen by the world and this administration did nothing, that sent a very bad signal to all of these dictatorships. >> schieffer: what should we have done? you're not saying we should have gone to war. >> no, but we should have spoken up for them, just as ronald reagan spoke up for the people behind the iron curtain, just as throughout
