Years before his son sent us to invade Iraq in 2003, George H.W. Bush
gave us a mandate to liberate Kuwait from it's Iraqi invaders. It was a
mandate few questioned, it was right, it was just. It was a glorious
time and a decisive victory.
George H.W. Bush is known for the little things, such as getting the Secret Service to stop at stop
lights so as not to inconvenience other road users - as he was for the big things such as the aforementioned Gulf War against the
evil forces of Saddam Hussein.
Also
every American in a wheelchair or some disability benefits from George
H.W. Bush's Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) and he famously spent
many hundreds of hours amending the Clean Air act (now of course being
eroded by the current administration).
What's truly amazing to me is that he did
what he did while democrats controlled both houses. The U.S., nay the World has today lost one of it's most extraordinary leaders.
Rest in peace Mr. President.
