The end of the Cold War was the greatest shock to international affairs since World War II. In that perilous moment, Saddam Hussein chose to invade Kuwait, China cracked down on its own pro-democracy protesters, and regimes throughout Eastern Europe teetered between democratic change and new authoritarians. Not since FDR in 1945 had a US president faced such opportunities and challenges

George H. W. Bush rose to the occasion brilliantly. Distrusted by such key allies as Margaret Thatcher and dismissed as too cautious by the press, Bush had the experience and the wisdom to use personal, one-on-one diplomacy with world leaders. Bush knew when it was essential to rally a coalition to push Iraq out of Kuwait. He managed to help unify Germany while strengthening NATO.

 
Are you back on the steroids again , BBQ ?

Putting on one side the family criminal corruption , this man is naturally low IQ without early dementia . Genuinely dense .
Even Piss Pants was brighter than this grinning lump and PPPP is by far the worst President the US has had or will ever have .
 
Was Ike more honorable than any since? I was a toddler his last 4 years. Was Carter honorable? Not that good though.
