Nope. I have very high regard for Bush #1 (Bush #2,
completely different story). If for no other reason, than his handling of the first Iraq war with surgical precision. He went in, did exactly what he had to do (drive the Iraqis out of Kuwait and humble them a bit), not an iota more, then left. He knew there was no winning in regards to middle eastern conflicts, so he did what he had to to retain regional stability. He didn't let ego get in his way. Probably why he didn't win the '92 election... he wasn't an ego driven man. I'm not saying he was the best president ever, but I do think he made some very shrewd decisions in the name of our country vs in the name of his legacy.
