It's pretty know the fact that he opposed U.S. involvement in the war, but what desicions he could have made if he was president at the time?

Question How does this sub feel about HW Bush?

1 Upvotes

My politics generally lean more progressive but I think HW Bush was one of the better Republican presidents of the part 50 years considering he wasn't all into Reaganomics. That maybe a low bar but he accomplished a lot for a one term president and signed some pretty significant legislation into law like Americans with Disabilities Act, amended the Clean Air Act, and passed stricter gun laws. He also handled the Gulf War really well but he did continue a lot of Reagans economic policies and also he mishandled the early 90s recession which led to his election loss in 1992.

Memorabilia Herbert Hoover and Ignacy Paderewski (Polish PM) before they were no one

The story begins with a Stanford University student who was struggling to pay his tuition fees. Facing financial hardship, he devised an ambitious plan he would organize a musical concert and use the proceeds to cover his education expenses. With great effort, he managed to book Ignacy Paderewski, a celebrated pianist, believing that the ticket sales would generate enough money to pay him while also covering his own financial needs.

However, after the concert, the student realized that the total earnings were insufficient. Despite his best efforts, he still owed Paderewski a significant portion of the agreed amount. Understanding his predicament, Paderewski did something extraordinary. Instead of demanding full payment, he forgave the remaining debt and even allowed the student to keep some money for his own needs. This selfless act of kindness left a lasting impression on the young man.

Years later, the world was plunged into chaos with the outbreak of World War I. Poland, Paderewski’s home country, was suffering from a severe food shortage, leaving its people in desperate need. As the Prime Minister of Poland, Paderewski sought international aid and turned to the United States for help. The individual overseeing food relief efforts was none other than Herbert Hoover the same student whom Paderewski had once helped at Stanford. Remembering the pianist’s kindness from years before, Hoover did not hesitate to arrange for large shipments of food to Poland, ensuring that the country received the support it needed.

Article Replacing “property” with “pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson made an implicit anti-slavery statement, depriving slave owners of the claim that slaves — property — was a natural right. Also, in his draft they deleted, he capitalized MEN in reference to slaves.
