George H.W. Bush: “Condemn it. The most brutal thing we've ever seen. It was without any moral underpinning. The whole world rose up…”

On the recordMay 22, 1991
Condemn it. The most brutal thing we've ever seen. It was without any moral underpinning. The whole world rose up against him. Do you remember, he tried to say it's him against--the Arabs against the United States? But the United Nations said something different: It's the whole world against his brutality. When you see what he did to the environment, when you see what he did to the people of Kuwait, when you see the principle that he offended, principle of aggression against a neighbor--nonaggression against a neighbor, why, you say this man has no redeeming value. He's a bad person. Unfortunately, there are people like that in the world. Well, I had better run, but thank you. Thank you so much.
