As president, Mr. Bush brought just the right attitude to the collapse of the Soviet Union, warning Americans they should not engage in triumphalism over the collapse of the communist regime (many celebrated anyway) and the end of the Cold War

Bush Sr. being quiet about the fall of the Soviet Union was a COLOSSAL mistake on his part!!!

He absolutely should have addressed this historic series of events, using them as “teachable moments”: for capitalism and freedom defeating communism and tyranny.

When it comes to voters, a POTUS should always either be in campaign mode or instructive mode—or both. This BS about “not taking a victory lap” is false “modesty” carried out to a destructive level. Bush Sr. screwed up on this, BIG TIME.

I guarantee you Ronald Reagan and President Trump would have rightfully seized the historic events with triumph, patriotism and national pride.

Yup. He is being praised by the rats and the likes of Ron Wyden for his gentle handling of their fellow comrades in the former soviet union.

Perhaps Mr. Bush understood that Communism was NOT being defeated and that is why he did not celebrate.

Looking at NoKo, China and Russia, does it look like Communism was defeated?

Perhaps it was slightly defanged but that was about all.

He made sure the wall came down. It was President Reagan who told Gorbachev to tear the wall down in his last year, but President Bush made it happen.

If you think William Jefferson Clinton would have brought the wall down than you are greatly mistaken.
