…and now we pray. It is all so complicated. As a kid I didn’t realize how divisive politics could be and what was gray.

Hello Gershon, what a thought-provoking and concise reflection on George W. Bush’s legacy. You skillfully highlight the value of his leadership team of the significant contributions of Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. Your words offer a compelling perspective on a complex period in history. - Blessings, Daniel
