The judicious statesman who won victories abroad but suffered
defeat at home, whose wisdom and demeanor served America well at a
critical time George Bush was a throwback to a different era. A
patrician figure not known for eloquence, Bush dismissed ideology
as "the vision thing." Yet, as Timothy Naftali argues, no one of
his generation was better prepared for the challenges facing the
United States as the Cold War ended. Bush wisely encouraged the
liberalization of the Soviet system and skillfully orchestrated the
reunification of Germany. And following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait
in 1990, he united the global community to defeat Saddam Hussein.
At home, Bush reasserted fiscal discipline after the excesses of
the Reagan years.
It was ultimately his political awkwardness that cost Bush a second
term. His toughest decisions widened fractures in the Republican
Party, and with his party divided, Bush lost his bid for reelection
in 1992. In a final irony, the conservatives who scorned him would
return to power eight years later, under his son and namesake, with
the result that the elder George Bush would see his reputation
soar.
