George Bush Senior dies

Reunified Germany owes him.

For a politician of his rank and power, he appeared to me as a surprisingly modest man.

That he called off the Gulf War too early and surprised even his own generals, then let his troops sit in idle mode and watch while the Iraqi rebels that were encouraged by America were mowed down by Saddams helicopters, is a treason not to be forgotten.

Thus my view of him is two-sided. Certainly more format and wits than his son. Active war experience himself, maybe that makes all the difference. All in all one of the better presidents the US had. Certainly more sense of realism than Clinton, Obama or Trump.
