Yes. This is bigger than one man (Mandela). This is about the entire continent of Africa.
Bush reached out to Africa at a time when the Soviets and/or China had been agitating for position.
His going to Mandela's funeral will help again to cement his legacy there.
Thank you for seeing it a bit more clearly.
Amazing, isn’t it, how much hatred for Bush there is on this thread? Almost as if they’re channeling Obama. :)
Bush definitely had his problems, most notably in his last six months...but he was and is a WHOLE lot better than the narcissistic Clown.
