Oh, really? When exactly was that? One what day and time did George Bush have a live feed into every single classroom in the country to talk about drugs? And could you please provide me a copy of the Department of Education’s lesson plan distributed to all the schools for that occasion?
Thanks.
His father. Do a google search.
Here let me be of assistance since you can’t google.

Oct 1 1991.
Bill Clinton annouced his run for President the next day.
A couple of weeks prior GHW Bush had given his famous “New World Order” speech where he waxed eloquent about how the gerat victory of Desert Storm by means of a grand international coalition would mean that the world was ready for a strengthened UN and a world time of great peace under the authority of the UN.
In other words, pride in his great victory went to GHW Bush’s head and he acted upon that overflowing pride — no man is immune!
But Hubris met Nemesis.
We know who lost the next Presidential election and sadly who won. Oct 1st and then Oct 2nd.
We know what happened to GWHB’s poll numbers in the
interim.
We know, sadly and tragically, how ineffective and even rotten the UN is, and was then, but has gotten worse since.
Why did GHWB support the UN so? Was it to rebuke Israel? I think so. That was unwise. GHWB surely knew well just how anti-Israel the UN was.
We know that the Great Period of Peace GHWB thought he had brought about, and so could turn his effort to the drug war — was NO PEACE.
Our enemies arose in Somalia, and after he began the Nemesis to GHWB’s Hubris, Clinton ran us out of Somalia like cowards. Osama watched and decided we were vulnerable.
I say that 10-1-1991 speech set in motion a chain of events that led to the tragic day of 9-11-2001.
