The 41st president of the United States. He died in 2018. A former director of the CIA and a decorated navy pilot who once completed a mission while his plane was on fire. He sought approval from Congress and the UN Security Council before opening fire in the 1991 Gulf War, patiently persuading 41 other countries to join America's military coalition to expel Saddam Hussein's forces from Kuwait. He laid out a clear, limited objective: reversing one country's seizure of another. He hoped that victory might help forge "a world where the United Nations [could] fulfil the historic vision of its founders" for peace. His approval rating reached nearly 90% after the liberation of Kuwait, but he lost his bid for re-election the next year, thanks to a lacklustre economy.
I got my driver's license photo taken out of focus on purpose. Now when I get pulled over the cop looks at it (moving it nearer and farther, trying to see it clearly)... and says, "Here, you can go."
