- Caption: George W. Bush
- Description: George Bush was elected President of the United States on November 8, 1988, sworn in on January 20, 1989, and served until January 20, 1993. During his term in office, the Cold War ended; the threat of nuclear war was drastically reduced; the Soviet Union ceased to exist, replaced by a democratic Russia; the Berlin Wall fell and Germany was reunified; Eastern Europe and the Baltic States all became free; and President Bush put together an unprecedented coalition of 32 nations to liberate Kuwait from Saddam Hussein's brutal aggression, thus paving the way for Israel and her Arab neighbors at the Madrid Peace Conference to begin anew their quest for peace in the Middle East. President Bush signed into law, among other things, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Clean Air Act - landmark civil rights and environmental legislation. He also successfully fought for and negotiated the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which was later signed into law. Since leaving office, President Bush has written two books - A World Transformed, co-authored with General Brent Scowcroft, on foreign policy during his administration; and All The Best, a collection of letters written throughout his life. He has visited 56 foreign countries, most of the 50 states and has helped to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for a variety of charitable organizations.
