HW Bush was really a solid president, he handled the end of the Cold War brilliantly, the gulf war well, and when he thought it was necessary for the good of the nation he raised taxes. He seemed very pragmatic and competent. I would argue he was one of the better presidents of the 20th century, its too bad his son fell pretty far from the tree.

I can listen to John talk for hours. lol those last to memes in the mystery document

I'll never forget this. I was just out of HS when the gulf war started. I'LL NEVER FORGET my best friends dad (Vietnam vet) advised us to enlist BEFORE we got drafted so you get a kinda sorta choice on your assignment. We decided to be in tanks figuring (naively) that snipers can't get us easily therefor increasing our chances to survive. But I remember feeling and saying to everyone EXACTLY the same thing Mr. Green says in the mystery document: "If we haveto go, we haveto go. But it would be a shame."

I always remember this interview, which I will give the quotes from on the Dick Chaney article on Wikipedia. In an April 15, 1994 interview with C-SPAN, Cheney was asked if the U.S. and UN forces should have moved into Baghdad. Cheney replied that occupying and attempting to take over the country would have been a "bad idea" and would have led to a "quagmire", explaining that: "Because if we'd gone to Baghdad we would have been all alone. There wouldn't have been anybody else with us. There would have been a U.S. occupation of Iraq. None of the Arab forces that were willing to fight with us in Kuwait were willing to invade Iraq. Once you got to Iraq and took it over, took down Saddam Hussein's government, then what are you going to put in its place? That's a very volatile part of the world, and if you take down the central government of Iraq, you could very easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off: part of it, the Syrians would like to have to the west, part of it - eastern Iraq - the Iranians would like to claim, they fought over it for eight years. In the north you've got the Kurds, and if the Kurds spin loose and join with the Kurds in Turkey, then you threaten the territorial integrity of Turkey. It's a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq. The other thing was casualties. Everyone was impressed with the fact we were able to do our job with as few casualties as we had. But for the 146 Americans killed in action, and for their families - it wasn't a cheap war. And the question for the president, in terms of whether or not we went on to Baghdad, took additional casualties in an effort to get Saddam Hussein, was how many additional dead Americans is Saddam worth? Our judgment was, not very many, and I think we got it right.[54][55]" Cheney regarded the Gulf War as an example of the kind of regional problem the United States was likely to continue to face in the future.[56] "We're always going to have to be involved [in the Middle East]. Maybe it's part of our national character, you know we like to have these problems nice and neatly wrapped up, put a ribbon around it. You deploy a force, you win the war and the problem goes away. But it doesn't work that way in the Middle East. It never has, and isn't likely to in my lifetime." I wonder what happened to this guy between his days as Secretary or Defense and his time as Vice President.

Good video, but I was hoping this would be a little more about the end of the Cold War. Btw, it is ridiculously stupid that we have a voting system that allows vote splitting. At least someone in Oregon is trying to do something in that state. There is a petition for an initiative that would make all candidates to run in one primary and voters would be allowed to vote for any number of candidates that they approve. The top two candidates with the most approval would face off in the general election. This is a great idea; not only will it stop vote splitting, it will drastically reduce partisanship and force candidates to go to the REAL center (not Washington center).

Great video John! I’m love the channel. When I finish up my student teaching and get a job that pays money I am definitely going to donate on subbable. Keep up the good work!!

Hey, good job making a video that was truly moderate. It's so common for people to go into all out bashing mode or all out defense mode when discussing anything conservative or republican.

In 1992 I was 18 and I thought that G. Bush Sr. was one of the worst presidents we had ever had. This seemed to be reinforced by the comparatively improved 90s. Little did we know just how bad things would get under his spawn. Bad enough that Bush Sr. would publicly criticize his own son years later.

America's worst nightmare: the common enemy disappears over night.

How do you justify spending billions, if not trillions of dollars to fight an enemy who isn't there anymore? That's like me taking out a loan to buy smartmines to fend off the Sasquatch in my yard. Pointless. But American politicians learned: Never again shall our enemy just disappear!

John is pretty harsh on Bush's foreign policy. However, especially relative to the next 16 years, it was pretty good. He managed to not do dumb things in a big way (like antagonize Russia at its most vulnerable). I suppose he could have acted more decisively in Yugo - but so could have like, ya know, Europe. Sending troops on an aid mission to Somalia - mixed. Again, the biggest accomplishment was managing the Russian crisis.
