POTUS 41 in his own words:
On September 9, 1991, he told Gorbachev in Helsinki that each crisis is “an opportunity to develop out of this tragedy a new world order”.
Two days later, Bush added: “Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective - a new world order - can emerge...We are now in sight of a United Nations that performs as envisioned by its founders.”
[[Gulp!]]
On October 1, 1990, President Bush told the General Assembly of the United Nations: “The United Nations can help bring about a new day...a new world order, and a long era of peace.”
Hmm...Harvard and Yale seem to produce a lot of this type of thinking.
Remember, he and Babs are big supporters of Mitt Romney, the man who believes government is God.
You've proven my point.
The Wall fell in '89. Shortly after, Bush was telling the UN that new alignments needed to happen to usher in an era of peace as opposed to Cold War.
Nothing mysterious about it. I suppose he could have used different words ("new alignments", "new goals" etc.) but the meaning would have been the same.
