  • Exclusive DW interview: Former President George W. Bush reflects on his relationship with Chancellor Angela Merkel and her legacy.
    "Merkel brought class and dignity to a very important position and made very hard decisions. She did what's best for Germany, and did so based upon principle," former U.S. President George W. Bush said in an interview with DW Washington Bureau Chief Ines Pohl ahead of Chancellor Angela Merkel's farewell visit to the White House on Thursday, July 15.
    The interview at the Bush family's summer home in Maine was conducted as part of the DW documentary "Angela Merkel - Navigating a World in Crisis," which will be published on our DW Documentary RUclips channel in September, shortly before the federal elections which will determine Merkel's succession.

      George W. Bush is the most notorious war criminal of the 21st century , responsible the deaths of millions. If the US would recognise the Nürnberg principles and International Court for Human Rights he would go straigt to prison. People who are near the Bush network are openly calling to execute Julian Assange. Would a Death sentence be appropriate for someone who reveals war crimes or for someone who committed them?

      There’s no question that the Taliban remain a threat, but that threat is unquestionably smaller than it once was. The challenge now is for the current Afghan government to either defeat or find some formal accommodation with the Taliban.

      Iraq was certainly a mistake - but the comparison with Russian aggression against Ukraine is grossly off.
      However, while G. Bush is assessed only through the lens of Iraq, it is completely overlooked that it was he who pushed through the PEPFAR programme - to which he is credited with saving 25 million lives. It was (and is) so successful that it has had an impact on life expectancy in a number of African countries.
      The joke is that almost no one knows about it. Liberals only see Bush through Iraq, conservatives are not a comparable group that would appreciate a humanitarian program. In other words: he got no positive political points for it, and he knew it. And yet he did it because he believed it was the right thing to do.
      If we want politicians to make the right decisions, this must not be forgotten in evaluating Bush's legacy. If we can't even appreciate saving 25 million lives, then we don't deserve to have the future be kind to us.

    US went to Afghanistan for its own benefits and never intended to help Afghan people. America’s main intention was to steal the planted poppies and to export the most expensive minerals out of that poor country. Yet, the US signed the contract with Taliban for their own benefit. It was the US who empowered Taliban and supported their return to Afghanistan and left the most vulnerable Afghan people in mercy of the wild Taliban while removing their army out of Afghanistan as fast as they could. 😪😭😭

      That's true but let's not forget puppet master Cheney and other front runners. The only one who literally expressed regret is Colin Powell. A shame that he never had interest to become President.

    It's unbelievable how many Americans are too ignorant to realize how lucky we were to have President Bush in office - and especially at the time we did - and how much good he actually did for the country and the world. Internet research about facts, not opinion, isn't that difficult to do. A lot of people would benefit from doing it.
