I dunno, mixed bag: he played the Soviets and the coup very well, and GW1 was a masterpiece in collective security action, but his response to Tiananmen Square left a lot to be desired, as was his response to the Balkans early in the crisis.

Please elaborate.

His Administration's response to the Balkans early in the crisis left a lot to be desired.

Permission to treat the witness as hostile and unresponsive.

I think Tianamen was an example of his wisdom. I don't think there's enough of a Balkans policy to judge.

Agree on Somalia but I imagine that that was done in negotiations with the Clinton team.
Let's bomb Russia!

I object! This judge is compromised and cannot be counted on for a fair and honest opinion on the matter at hand!
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Both of you are removed from the courtroom.

Eh, I'm with Shelf here.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Hostile sure, but Seedy is rarely unresponsive.

It's been twenty years since he was president.  We all forget things from that far back.

Now I'm imagining what the US would be like with Seedy as president...
