such as GWBush's failure to seize the potential unification of the world post 9/11

Excellent point.  I think he did seize that moment, he just used it for something other than unification.  That's the thing when those moments happen (rather than are created) -- someone will use them for something.  It's heartbreaking that it wasn't used for the potential good.

And, yours is an excellent point as well.  He seized the moment and the Cheney-Bush administration hasn't let it go.
