The Truman-Eisenhower post-war foreign policy


That internationalism led GHWB to forge the broad coalition in the first Iraqi War, and, combined with experience, gave him the tools to manage an appropriate response, working with traditional allies, to the massive changes in the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc countries.

That Eisenhower-Dulles background also shaped some lesser policy decisions such as invading Panama and placing 28,000 U.S. troops in Somalia.

There is a reasonable case to be made that the Bush I administration screwed up in their signals to Saddam Hussein about Kuwait.

Domestic policy? Who knows since he shifted on several key positions as his career advanced. I think he firmly believed in the United States, noblesse oblige, the importance of family, and proper manners.
