Jon Meacham's biography of the elder U.S. president Bush- views on Cheney and Rumsfeld

11/04/2015

Cheney is described in terms of empire building and Rumsfeld is seen as arrogant by the elder president Bush in their role in the cabinet of his son president George Bush. The elder Bush is critical of his son's statements on the excessive use of force and the role of Rumsfeld and Cheney in such policies. The elder Bush says both men served under him but he cannot recognize the same people when they served in his son's presidency, because they acted differently and assumed more powers.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
