The battle lines between father and son were drawn. In the balance hung policies that would kill and maim hundreds of thousands of people and change the global balance of power for years to come.
  • What a dysfunctional family!

    Before we start feeling sorry for Bush the Elder, remember that he has supported his son no matter what, which has a lot to do with the narcissist that son became. When he failed at school, business, etc. his father got his friends to bail the prince out. And the Bush machine was behind little George in his run for the presidency even though they all knew the kind of man he has always been. James Baker was the guy who fought for him in Florida during the recount.

    And what kind of father has a friend call his son to find why he was insulted by that son/ instead of having the guts to call himself? This is a deeply disfunctional family and we are all caught in this nightmarish Oedipal struggle.
